Had I known

had I not
already known
what your arms
around my body
feel like

your skin on mine
our breath confined
to the space
where our thoughts connect
and our souls entwine

then I'd known
there cannot be a truth
in what they say

for it must be infinitely better
to have never loved …

than losing
what has since
become our fate


but then again …

it is too late
