That Moment in the Reeds

A part of each other
that makes us both sad…

It’s hard to get over
what we never had…

Our love was requited
but we were a mess…

Inside recited
what made us obsessed:

The tint in those skies.
The feel of the wind.
The glint in your eyes.
The scent of your skin.

The kiss that meant nothing
until we were gone.

The kiss that meant something
because we were wrong.

The kiss was abandoned
unknown in the splendor…

The kiss never happened
although we remember.
