Between chapters

Endings don’t sting,

Beginnings don’t excite.

You move from chapter to chapter,

Attempting to understand,

Pausing to share a piece,

Calling it a connection.

We gather stolen moments

Laughter, and a few tears,

Glances, hands entwined.

Lecherous we become,

Then numb as time moves on.

“Forever” lingers between chapters,

Unwritten, unfinished

And yet, despite it all,

Pursuits aren't ever pointless.
