POETRY | LOVE
Perhaps it was the timing, the distance, or maybe just a lack of chemistry that kept things from progressing physically. But regardless of the reason, the memories of those unconsummated relationships can be powerful and lingering.
I would really appreciate it if you could please stay on the page
for at least 30 seconds to help me support my work as per Medium's new changes.the one who slipped away
like a shadow in the night
lingers in the depths
of our memory’s light
was it timing’s cruel twist?
that kept us
from the union
of heart to heart?
unconsummated
a tale of what might have been
the anticipation
a slow and silent sin
in the reality
of could-have-been lovers
we would reside
with unquenched desire
our hearts in quiet denial
the promise of passion
a prospect so thrilling
but the flames of longing
forever kept distilling
the tension grew
with every stolen glance
yet there’s no chance
for physical…
