Tomorrow

If all I had was tomorrow,
   I'd have him in it.

There's no future with him.
  Only now.

So, today is where I leave him.
  Tomorrow.

That Moment

The moment catches you by surprise.
You're sitting next to him talking about everything
  ..and nothing.

He casually brushes your hair out of your eyes
and gives you his last bite of ice cream.
  His eyes sparkle.

And suddenly you know.
So you blink and look away, not wanting him to see.
  Not now.
  Not yet.

Choices

We are defined by the paths that we choose.
And love is one of the most defining choices we make.

Remembering

It's as if it never happened.
And every day moves forward like the last.
Except for the low ache in my chest that reminds me.
And I - alone - recount the moment.
As if it never happened.

One Night

When intimacies are left
   without acknowledgment,
all value is lost.
   Even more so for the one
who gave apart of himself
   in the exchange.

Sorry

I love her
  but I am sorry for her.
She doesn't see what's real.
Or she won't.


Either way,
  it'll be the end of her one day.
And I will be sorrier still.

A Spring Day

Parked under a tree
My feet on his dashboard
Warm breeze through the windows
The sun shining in.

Spoon fed Gelato
A comfortable quiet
New spark to his dark eyes
A cold creamy kiss.
