Can I?

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder

Or is it absence?

Either way,

The two have their parts to play

In this love story we’ve decided to embrace.

I replay

Every moment your lips touched mine

And my skin touched yours.

The taste

Is impossible to forget

But hard to put my finger on…a birth of intrigue

Because each moment is better than the last

Thereby rendering each previous encounter null and void

And you are something worth experiencing anew.

You’ve destroyed…no. You’ve obliterated

The wall I know I had around my heart

A ploy

I know your village people didn’t send you on

And so,

I look forward to each day

For a day will come when we can meet again

And I will show you a version

Of love I’m sure you’ve never seen

Because to take for granted our moments is to shove a gift horse in the mouth

And the good Lord knows

I will do no such thing.

My mind flips southward once you come into my mind’s eye’s view

And we’re so lucky

So very lucky that we’re not friends

Because then I can ask

With certainty, and hope in my heart

Can I Kiss You Again?

Hi guys. It’s been a minute😂

I wrote this in 2023, but I refined it a couple of minutes before posting. I hope you like it. I have a couple of thoughts running round in my head, but I’m having trouble developing them. Let’s see how it goes though.

I hope you’re good. Love you❤️
