Can we kiss forever,
beneath the bruised moonlight?
Your breath a slow tide—
I drown, I rise, I drown.
Skin on skin, the silence sings,
every touch a vow we can’t pronounce.
Time folds into your pulse;
I taste the ache of almost.
Hold me till the stars forget to burn,
till every shadow learns your name.
If we never wake, let this be the dream—
your lips, my forever,
never ending, never leaving.
