Stand-In
A simple touch,
A kiss,
Raw, beautiful, passionate,
A message,
One after another,
Learning, laughing, having,
Love, passionately made
More than I should have,
Too much,
I’m falling,
I feel it in every beat of my heart,
Waiting for the moment you pull away
Finding someone better,
The kisses less frequent,
The raw beauty of whatever built,
Destroyed between us,
The messages slow,
My replies stand,
Yours never seen again,
A stand in,
All I will ever be until you’re ready
