Embraced

I knew it wouldn’t last forever,

that I could only be in his sun kissed arms for a brief time.

I knew it was just for that moment,

but I still craved to drown in his golden coloured eyes.

What we had was harmless, if you really want to believe that.

Countless hours by the pool, smiles and embraces.

Conversations of what we enjoyed most, his alluring voice singing to me

his favourite songs.

The touch of his hand upon mine,

sending hair raising warmth

all over me.

Saying goodbye was hard but when he kissed my cheek

and held me for the last time, I knew I’d see him again one day.

I know nothing came out of it, that it wasn’t real,

But for a moment, it felt like it could have been.
