Lingering

6.11.12

Our lines were blurred by the moments we shared.
With time well spent enjoying the company.
The similarities pulling us together.
Proximity is so harmless when people are there.
But solitude allows unfolding events.

It started with a kiss, but it was never enough.
Loneliness and insecurity feeding our want.
Our hugs were so careful and our laughter so free.
But in your eyes I could see the lust, the passion.
The yearning, mirrored in my own.
A second to long on the small of my back
the fingers intertwined, oh the craving that was passed.
But the fault falls on my shoulders.
I suppose the attention felt so good.
Overwhelmed with flattery I stayed by your side.
Befriended the evil that I knew would come.

The room filled with smoke and tension.
Taking step after step, until we both went to far.
Never looking below, we leaped off the cliff.

The lines disappeared with moments of excitement and prying hands.
I no longer see the past but an uncertain future.
One with our destruction from the surpassing movements.
The love we shared I hope it is real.
For the sake of our friendship
I know the words must be said that the benefits must end.
