Sometimes

Sometimes,
I remember First date,
First kiss,
First love.

The Passion of it,
The Fierceness of it,
The Exhilaration of it,
The Smell of it.

The Caring talks,
The Pillow talks
The Need to talk,
The Want to listen.

The Holding of hands,
The Caresses of face,
The Gentleness of spirit,
The Desire to just be.

Sometimes,
I remember,
The Disappointment
The Destroying words
The Defeating attitudes.

How did we go from love biting to backbiting?
I don't honestly remember.
When did we go from caring to cruelty?
I guess we didn't care enough.

Sometimes,
I realize, This,
Was going to happen,
Had to happen,
Has happened.

Sometimes,
Thinking of,
Someone else tasting your skin,
Knowing your heart,
Breaks my heart with joy.
