Laying side by side
hands entwined
you pretend not to notice the tears
that caress my cheeks.
I wonder what is wrong
where is it that I fail you
even when you tell me
that we will be alright.
Time and time again
no matter how slowly I move
no matter how much time I take
you are premature
and I am late.
I wish that just for once
we could be together
at the same time
in the same moment
eyes locked
lips close
breathe intermingled.
I lay awake listening to you breath
my heart breaking in two
our love is never going to match
and I should abandon all hope now.

Yes it can be but when it works it can be exquisite.

That is exact. Nice things can also be very delicate demanding that we handle with care.
