We sat there 'til the golden light made
way to silver beams. New moon
kept its promises, brought about
a change. We drank tea and silence
made a home between us. No more thoughts
needed to be voiced. Cooled down tea
and slowly fading light our only reminders
of time. The words ended, the heartbeats
slowed down, yet our gazes avoided
the door. Shoulders relaxed, jaws
trembled unwillingly, gratitude
seeped in through the cracks.
And maybe.
Just maybe we hoped
for a miracle. One we knew would
never come. Holding on
to yesterday was easier than facing
the truth. Just for one more
moment. Our palms
slowly separated, lingering for an instant. Fingertips
said their final goodbyes. Your eyes fixed on my
lips, mine glued to yours. Heart I knew so
well turned back to being just another passer
on the street
of life.

I've noticed that when I follow the path I enjoy most, I often end up swimming upstream. So here I am, right in the middle of it – writing about it all and more. ♡
