If only for a moment
I could see who you are.
Undress your clothes and see your scars
Let our feelings flow.
From songs to poems the intertwining of souls
•••••
If only for a moment
We could stare in each other eyes
The reflection of ourselves without any disguise
Holding you in my arms you begin to see
That there is nothing to hide from yourself or me
•••••
If only for a moment
I could tell you what it all means
Why the stars aligned and you are here with me
What we are to do with this life we share
A tale of love and loss for all those we care
•••••
If only for a moment
I could tell you it will all be okay
Close your eyes we’ll make it through the day
Caressing your neck
Kissing your lips
•••••
Reluctantly,
I relinquish my grip
Allowing you to sail alone,
Completely adrift.
Your eyes disappear in the night
And with it, the light from life
•••••
My soul starts to shrivel and cry
Becoming only bitter and dry
If I only had a moment to say
I love you and good-bye
If only for a moment
Our love could survive…
