Ayer

Pause; this was a door never opened to her before and much difference a year might bring,
As an assassin realization struck my consciousness 'twas as likely she'd changed not a thing.
Words waited their turn at first sights exchanged; she was twice as comfortable saying adieu,
Funny how easily we wrapped ourselves in one another as my arms were outstretched anew.
Another time hesitation; heavy breaths to sighs, put away any goodbyes long enough for me,
For you've come back for now, I don't care why or how if we can remember how it used to be.

Friday night seemed to go well, perspectives decidedly parallel, her life settled as has my own;
She won't be getting married, as it turned out; why, what a coincidence, I'm also freshly alone.
Strangely, little doubt clouds her in this time I've been without her; sobriety affords that caveat,
And won't it be convenient to see each other once she returns to work; silly me, I almost forgot.
Close evening, Saturday begins, we're platonic despite nakedskins; ammunition, no tangledwar,
Such frolics I would learn kicked our descent into an afterburn I wish I couldn't fathom anymore.

On this second day I expected to cue her fadeaway; we traversed through memory bare of ease,
She couldn't avert my eyes, no, child, it is here we must capitalize on such opportunities as these.
Truth, sweet revelation; at last I had some answers and could rest a matter of no cradle to grave,
Again we embraced in a twinshower of tears for one lost to us; I for the one life I could not save.
Silence, but not between lovers reunited; now hear my voice, know my story, words are no crime,
Speak you must, say what you will; 'tis silent agonies which surely kill passionate, precious time.
