Let's Not Rush These Things, My Love

you never know...
these  breaths we breathe
may be our  last
so let's linger over
this goodbye kiss and hold fast
a while more
no cursory peck barely
finding its mark
no air embrace
leaving no scent
no, let us linger over this kiss
and hold fast a while longer
these breaths we breathe
may be our last...
we  never know
