Tender Moments

I have you on repeat

grasping for tender moments

I hold on to like delicate keepsakes

they are so few and far between

and I'm grateful for the memorability of each moment

moments wrapped in romance

that end with bitter sunrises and goodbyes

moments so fragile and rare

that I wonder if they would have the same taste

if not such a delicacy

but I'd still devour you

as I lay here and recall years of wavering emotions

suppressed desires and volcanic explosions

that retreat into dormancy

I wonder could we ever float together

or are we two twin souls

finding each other in the wrong lifetime
