but that time has passed…

Remember those candlelit nights

Your hair against your skin

A soft invite 

Those halcyon days 

A torrid affair

But that time has passed. 

We laughed and rolled around

Among the peppered grass

Stole too much from the world

And gave a little more back

But that time has passed. 

We moved from body to body

You from me to another her

And I from him to him to him

Erasing each other

But that time has passed. 

Angry nights feeling betrayed 

Abandoned again

Alone and lost

But that time has passed.
