Because You Could Not Stop For Me

Because you could not stop for me

I stopped in time

Because your heart still beats in me

I embraced sublime.

Your mushy letters and romantic notes

Kept me steady and afloat

The footprints of our evening walks

Inspired me to tread a forbidden path.

Your fragrance underneath my skin

Smells as fresh as a thyme

The myriad of emotions you churned in me

When you touched for the last time.

Because your heart still beats in me

I embraced sublime.
