30DAYS BEFORE THE WEDDING

She said – hold me tighter than before.

30days from now and she wouldn’t be here anymore.

Traded what we had for another with a ring.

Looked at her time and felt we’ve ran out of just loving.

Said she needed more than these feelings.

And though I love her to every piece;

Yet I realize we’ve both come to a point our waters don’t merge.

30days from now – One last night is all we have.

 

I heard her wish this moment would last forever;

Meticulously I ignored those words like I’d suddenly struck deaf.

A little deeper than usual,

Sweat drops like rain from a clouded sky.

Passion marks from love making are evidence of where we’ve been.

But 30days from now – My bed will hug me in loneliness,

While another man would hold her in his lovingness.

Still it would be of me she thinks?

 

Childishly she asked if I would be at her wedding,

Then covered her face in the shadow of my chest.

But I’ll rather be at home repainting my room.

Different colors from the shade that reminds me of her.

For we have lived here too long,

The silk sheets wouldn’t feel same without you underneath the covers.

30days from now and my calendars will be set ablaze.

And our heart filled with cobwebs we can not erase.

 

Maybe she will delete my messages off her phone.

Would I rip her picture off my wall?

30days from now would we forget we once lived in each other’s heart,

Or wake up with the craze for what we once shared?

Oh! A question we both would answer in the warmth of time.

“Kiss me slowly tonight”, she said.

Hold me a tighter tonight.

For 30days from now – I still want to taste and feel you only.
