I said I want you but
what I meant was
something very
very
different
you see I was so afraid
but I felt a sync of spirits colliding
knowing what life was saying
yet
wanting so desperately to know
how to spend a moment
without regret
how to live without pretense
ever an ending
without resentment
I love you
I want you
and that
just makes it worse
so much worse
than the present
resolution to abandon
hope, or honor
just be together
without forever
beckoning in the distance
