Can we sit down

At the table,

And talk about the things

We were unable

To think about,

Let alone voice?

Can you hold off

On your judgment,

Can you listen to me,

Without interruption,

Sip some good scotch,

And try to understand?

I have loved you,

Since I met you,

I never want to surrender

But I bet you

Will be gone soon,

If you’re not already.

Can I just have one more

Moment with you

Before we say goodbye?

I need you to realize

I’ve loved you

All my life.

Be gentle with me,

I am already broken.

I know I’m not easy,

And maybe it’s hopeless,

But I don’t want to lose you

Just yet.

In our last moments

I hold on

To the memories

Of us

Together

Hopefully forever.
