A Spatially and Temporally Limited Relationship

'Till Death do us part' some loudly proclaim. Others go even further.
'We'll never be apart. All eternity we will be together!'
Eternity seems a bore. Give me today, I will not ask for more.

Some lovers woo and fight; even kiss and make up across land masses.
It does not seem right, to thus disregard oceans and mountain passes.
Couriers grow fat while lovers waste away. I cannot do all that!

I am here now. Let us not worry about all eternity.
Be wholly mine now; it is quite possible to taste infinity
in a spatially and temporally confined relationship.

one-night stand

I used you. You used me.
We both fulfilled a need.

One thing I remember.

After, I moved away.
Looking for space to breathe.

You reached out though asleep,
pulled me close and kissed me.
