Paralell

How many paths have I crossed
How many hands have I held
How many lips have I kissed
How many were stolen
Kisses
Glances
Moments
Chances
I have had a few
I have taken
I have given
I rewind
And I’m reminded
Your face
Your taste
Our sweat
My tears
The sensation
Of stillness
Beside you
Behind you
Beneath you
Above you
I dive in
Swimming
Surrounded
By sheets
And blankets
And defeat
My tired weary eyes
Open
Knowing
I’ve run short on borrowed time
It is the here
It is the now
I let go
Embracing your release
I lay still
Breathing
Believing
Our lips
Our hands
Our paths
Now parallel
But promised
Reunion
