Sylvia Plath once said
“a future was lost yesterday”
and it’s true. Losing something
without a doubt of feeling
the way we feel can be
an unbreakable haven.
I know this summer
would be cruel without you.
I kept so many secrets
from my family but I wish
they knew what you are to me.
Dirty jokes floods the room
with laughter and joy.
But so close to you
is where I want to be.
I don’t want to get lost
with the times
when you are not around.
I want to be timeless
being in love with you.
No, I don’t want to seek
attention every time
we’re in public.
The haunting of my heart saying,
”I don’t want to lose you.”
Time seems to fade away
when we have another.
I don’t want anyone else
if the candlelight is all
we’ve got to light up the room.
High on the wire
walking slowly
as we realize we’ve got
nothing to lose
when it comes to love.
I got scared of the view.
I saw monsters in the ocean.
I lost the blues when it comes
down to what’s real.
Neon pink ashes as we found
each other in bad times.
I don’t know if what’s better
when it’s been all about you.
I was happier before the real you
came along and destroyed me.
“I don’t want to lose you”
echoes in my mind
as you went back to her.
Manhattan’s pastel pink skies
is all that we saw burning bright.
I honored you and bless my heart.
We fought before you said,
“you are the only one.”
I want to be timeless with you.
