Lovers

lovers
a contradiction 

the joyful anticipation of time spent together is heightened by the inevitability of separation
whether one waits for the other to arrive or the timing is perfect
buoyant hearts rush to the coming

the anticipation of separation casts a shadow over time spent together
time to dread and then watch the leaving
heavy hearts drag at the going

both will love and hate the preoccupying delirium of the in between

lovers
linger and pine long

Reading

Aside

I love it when you are reading a book, no matter how good it is, and you come to a blank page. This is because as you turn that empty page you are quickly one page closer to the end than you thought. One page closer to the sweet anticipation of finding and starting your next book.
