I should never have
My last memory blighted
My heart forever clinched
In the dimly lit room
She sighed softly
The color drained from her face
She was no longer mine
I was no longer hers
Our time had passed
Not into obscurity but
Into a dim memory
The fresh days of our love
The ferocious coupling
Of mind and body
Slipping from my memory
Like water through my fingers
Her scent now only in a bottle
I ignored the warnings
Of time expiring
If only there was…
Another way, more time
I remember your promise
That we would always
Be together, forever
Today is when forever ends
And never begins.
