August 17, 2012: Blinding Romance

Smile for me
One last time
I will kiss you softly
A promise of an unknown future
Is this real?
Fingertips gently tilt my eyes
Into your gaze
Telling me to believe
To believe in this
Sudden passionate awareness
silence as we stand
unable to leave, unable to stay
and in a final embrace
we speak through electric touch
Time speeds by
As we desperately memorize
Smells of perfume, freckle formations
And sweet laughing melodies
Not knowing if this is goodbye
Shivering at the thought of years
Then with one last look
I pass through the door
With tears
For you
and
I
