Long Gone

“I can keep going all night,”

He whispered in my ear as I giggled, not wanting to believe

But it was so insanely different

I didn't care

The smell of each other, together

The aroma of the candles and our bodies touching carefully as to not disturb one

Another's uncomfortable senses

We never did

But we didn't need to

Flaming lights on the walls holding us safely within the room we shared

Naked we lay, trembling inside

Never showing outside the full potential of eroticism we held

Never wanting to scare away our prey

Awaiting patiently, telling stories

Stories never told

The ones you hold deep inside

Just as we both held on tightly

A first time hug of a long time, far away departures loved one, not letting go

Not wanting to ever

Hoping the moment would last forever, as it felt

It would

Starring into souls, never wanting to

Let go

Where did this come from?

No falling asleep

Only waking up from what is thought of as a dream

The pink rose petals rain down softly, gently touching skin

The bright sparkles of lit candles

Don't close your eyes, don't do it

She did, so did he

And once their eyes opened, they both were

Back in their own offices on opposite sides of the world

The phone is ringing

At the desk, where you left him for.
