Swept Up

We found each other
One night so many moons ago
I ran through the city
I ran to you
My friend, my lover, my strength
I ran into your arms
And without saying a word
We loved
The last time I felt your lips
Your strong arms lifting me off my feet
I never wanted to leave
I never wanted you to leave
But you placed me back down
Gently
Finally
Firmly
And left

  1. It’s like a heartbreaking final scene from like a postapocalyptic novel or something 😦 you really captured the emotion here I think. The urgency of the speaker as she runs through the city and the loss she feels when her lover leaves.
