The part that kills me

Is that I remember that first night

When I laid in bed with you

I slept soundly, but I felt your presence

It was everything I craved

It made me so happy

I remember that tension

that spark between us that we both recognized

I remember how badly I ached for you to kiss me

But I didn’t know

We didn’t know how strongly we felt for each other

Until I you held my hand

Startled, I woke from my slumber

Just to bask in that moment

The first moment in years to remind me what happiness felt like

My heart was beating so fast

What we experienced that night

It made me believe that we could have it for a long time together

It made me hope that we could feel that forever

I thought “How could two people

who barely know each other

fall so quickly in love?

How could we not be meant for each other?”

It took no time for our relationship to start

It took no time for our relationship to end

Our little piece of forever was far too short

but long enough that we both gave everything

yet took too much without hesitation
