please don't let this be the last time i love you

I remember your hands, soft and gentle. 

They held me and gave me peace. 

My body molded to yours, and I knew this was where I was meant to be. 

 

But it wasn’t where you felt needed. 

The coldness overtook me, and I saw your back turned to me. 

You couldn’t bear to tell me this was the end. 

 

Off in the distance, I saw her golden glow. 

Her arms outstretched to yours and the way your heart beat towards her. 

My dull frame could never compare. 

 

My hands scrounged for your touch. 

Grasping at the cloth of your clothes. 

Tears soaked my cheeks as my hands passed right through you. 

 

“Please don’t let this be the last time I love you.”
