YOU HURRY SO

YOU HURRY SO

you are the sugar
on my tongue –
sweetness of my
life – yet life seems
too short, not long
enough to be who
we are – as we grow
older we learn – it
has taken time

to learn about each
other – what catches
to one another like
a kiss – a hug – a
smile, never wanting
the moment to end

like last night when I
stared at you, you – so
peaceful while you sleep
and wondered how you
closed your eyes to life –
I can’t remember when
you stayed awake with me

then, in the morning If I
tell you I slept little but I
had a dream – it wouldn’t
matter since you tend to
hurry so -
