Before We Said Goodbye Poem by Eloida Capuno

i lay next to you in this warm bed where
only moments ago you and i cavorted to
quench an insatiable fire
you filled my needs and so did i, so i thought
because i heard you sigh and saw a glint of
smile in the corner of those lips that devoured
mine a hundred times i almost gasped for breath

in those moments of pure bliss time stood still
and i forgot who i am and who you are
what only mattered is that we were here together
savoring what is left of the final hours
before we said goodbye.
