"he wanted to be her life,
her past, her present and her future.
he wanted to be her memories,
with every road she takes, ending up at his feet.

but she only wanted to be in his eyes,
his present, his current moment.

not his heart to cradle,
or his soul to complete,
not his mind to invade,
just seconds of temporary feelings."
