PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It’s really a bummer

that you can’t stay

here with me

which would

be quite nice

just drinking wine

and making love

and learning about

life, love, beauty

and each other

It’s just that

I can not really

give you any guarantees

and you can’t really

feel secure without

those guarantees

and we reach a crossroads

that derails us

from the tracks

The pleasantries,

of course, remain

but all else

will not be

possible

the time has

now come

to part

and we will

both wonder

which may well

drive us both

a little crazy

but we’ll learn

in time

to live with it

and our shared laughter

will express

mutual longing
