to feel for.,

and for some reason,

at these times, i feel so close to her-- so close to the point of drowning in her love

and i truly feel loved

the breath held is released.

loosen fingers--

her lips quiver,
teeth clamps down on lips,
she cries
 
i cry.
i thought i could keep them,
the very least of my many wishes;
"how childish": so they say.
a month of vacation for a loss of memory--
such unfair 'trade'..
 
she starts forward,
clutching on the remaining few in her palm,
ones that she's allowed to keep
