Kiss Me like I could Leave in a Moment (Even Though I Wont)

Kiss me like I'm worth your time

Pull my body to your own

And let our skin act like velcro

Kiss me like I could leave in a moment

Even though I won't

Don't ask me if I mind

I have half to let you know

I want you to kiss me slowly

And never let me go

Like I'll dissapear, but you know I won't.

I could slip like sand through your fingertips

But the love handles give you such a good grip

So kiss me like you mean it

This hourglass could always run out

But I'll take it slow

Kiss me like my skin won't bruise

But your favorite colors are black and blue

So you'll chase the rainbow

Until I give it all up for you

Even though I won't

I'm falling through the cracks

So hold on tight

Kiss me like you're not tired

So I can sleep at night

Even though I won't

Kiss me like I didn't forget to eat

For the third day in a row

And you'll spoonfeed me sweet nothings

Kiss me like I'll remember

Even though I won't

Kiss me so I'll think I'm enough

And my glass will be full

Kiss me like being mine isn't tough

Like I will always be okay

Even though I won't

Its a slow demise

Every single time

So kiss me like now is forever

'Cause I could leave in a moment

Even though it'll be you

You have an excellent image in every stanza except number 2!! Love the third to last stanza, very clever imagery

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is fantastic...i love the analogies and how you wove them into this love poem...
the idea of that union, and yet thinking that it could be ephemeral...and that we have to hold on as hard as we can and make love desperately because it could be the last time...if only we would appreciate things and people before we lost them...we don't, enough.
