We Were Ephemeral

If we knew we were ephemeral,

We would have probably spoken a little earlier,

A little longer,

A little more than necessary,

Sharing secrets without being vulnerable,

Shredding every single bit of our soul minute by minute,

Calling each other annoying yet cute names,

Clicking more than one picture,

Recording our sleepy, slurry voices,

Capturing each other’s silly, funny, embarassing moments unapologetically,

Rather than just looking at each other across the room,

Smiling on occassions,

And parting without a heartbreak.

Even though we were ephemeral,

We didn’t do any of things above,

Yet faced a heartbreak when it was time to decide, where to go from here now?

FLY, I SAY
