Foolishness

I think I’ll forever be in awe
Of the thought of knowing you more
Despite knowing you for a time
That I once thought would last.

Deluded as I may be,
But a part of me holds on
To those eyes,
To that touch—

One that feels like fire
As our hands grazed each other’s
But carefully pulled away
For you cannot hold fire

And if I did,
It would consume me whole,
Burn my anger to ashes
And melt into the spiral I once was in.
