farewell to tomorrow

I love the time in between
When we lock our eyes in a stare
And then we lock our lips in a kiss.
It's when the world stands still
And I forget to breathe
Knowing only of the warmth
Of our entangled limbs and bodies.

We chase our runaway breaths
Still in this tight embrace
For a while in a short recess.
And the world moves again
In a monotonous silence.
But I cannot say the words
I can only hold you until this ends.

I love the time in between
Tomorrow and yesterday
For after today I'll see you not again.
I'll miss the time when our embrace
Finally after ages break
For after this there'll be no more
Embraces that will be ever made.
