up your face 

into your left eye 

and you blink. 

it’s gone

⠀

and i know we both

would go back and undo 

everything

okay but then i

saw your face

and realised

i was just

is not the right question;

i wasn’t on earth with you

i was in heaven

when the wind carried

the scent of your home

i closed my eyes

and thought;

this is it

you looked beautiful today

you always do but

i wish i told you how

i loved your blushes

when i looked at you and

i loved your touches ‘cause

my sides, my cheeks and my

let me go

endless summer

I notice when she comes closer

softly sighing secrets in my ear

and when she leans back

hand still on my lap

I can’t help but wonder

i watered your seeds

i bathed you in sunlight

and pulled all the weeds

but winter came early

and life isn’t fair

you withered too quickly
