Temporary Love
I love food
always have and always will
but
there's something about the food today
that just
isn't right.
Maybe it's because of you
your presence in front of me
after so much time and heartbreak.
you're here
the food is okay
but the conversation
is so much better.
our spark hasn't faded
our connection has yet to die
and yet
the meal is going to end
and our love will
die
again.
