Once

Once

A Poem by Wynter Ignatius
"

So much of my past comes up here.

"
Just one time,
Your pillow, me
That February day
Eyes teased eyes
Touch without regret

Just one time,
Attempted to sleep
Noise above constant
Laughed it off
Comfortable resting together

Just one time,
Had to leave
Work our bane
Warm from contact
Three words awaited

Just one time,
You kissed me
Not getting away
Lips hugged lips
I shouldn't leave

Just one time,
Saw you off
Wave never enough
Long time gone
Sadness brings return

Just one time,
Death closed gap
Barely saw you
Gift adorned you
Kiss asked for

Just one time,
News not ask
That you said
Time too short
Left me happy

Just one time,
I gave up
Hobby to help
Get you moved
Intent for better

Just one time,
Limited explanation given
Story didn't synch
Sudden change made
Dust in wake

Just one time,
No more calls
Limited contact now
Partially my fault
Confusion my sadness

Just one time,
No words yours
Barely a whisper
Found someone new
Closer of proximity

Just one time,
Contact now severed
Chaotic changes, blame
Resort to youth
Hidden in time

Just one time,
I cried again
Love I lost
Shell of man
Broken yet whole

Just one time,
Happy with you
Distance not undue
Still feel decidedly
Without mutual admiration

Just one time,
I write down
How I feel
I love you
Despite limited return

Just one time,

Just one kiss,

Just one rest,

Just one love,

Just too much

Just one time,

Just one kiss,

Just one rest,

Just one love,

Just too much

---
the ending proclaims this...
I'm sure this can go on etc...
yet the focus is quite put...
in the lines of this verse...
