Ocean

Sunsets scatter souls

Across a twilight sky

Shimmering rays against the ocean tides

Making mountains to deceive our eyes

Forget

Forget today

Forget tomorrow

Forget,

The moment I can never take back

Clutching the very thing I could never let go

You

Forget,

Doubting all of my actions

Taking an extra second to question a decision

I was never going to make in the first place

Forget,

Wanting something better for myself

This is it

This is all

This is everything

Forget,

Thinking it is over

I am still here

I will keep going

I will keep going

If Only

I can only do so much to write a poem

If only,

I can turn these words into time

I would never stop writing

Just to keep you near forever

If only,

These words can close the distance

This poem would only be one word:

“Us”

If only,

Any other circumstance of which we can be together

This poem would be written

But this poem can never be written
