The Next Time

I don't want to find another way to make it through the day without you.

Why can't we stay together? Love finds a way to bring us into its arms. The burn of your soft touch wanes, and then you are suddenly gone. I don't try to understand how it works, how two people can find each other through the din of sadness and clutter. But we did, and now all I can think about is how to make it to the next time.

The next time my hands will hold you. The next time my mouth will breath into yours. The next time my arms will wrap around your waist. The next time your tongue will touch my ear. The next time I will hear you say "Yes."

I'm not that strong.
