Loves' Breath
by Kay Elaine Ekwall
Sometimes........
it is so painful to me
......to love you...
I picture you ..
in my mind,
And know
that I love you.
but......
I know too well
it's a temporary
liaison for us.
Our lives are too fragile,
our hopes..our dreams,
too different.
And yet, we love..
we give and receive.
We ask, when will it end?
silently, we hope...
...never...
Loves' breath
can be snuffed out
like a candle,
......so fast, so final.....
All that's left is
the thin trail of smoke...
hanging in the air.
Where were you
in my yesterdays?
Will you
be in my tomorrows.
........I don't know......
For tonight,
Let's love...
let's dream.
Tomorrow is still
a breath away.
