the dissipation
when we talked -
I told you how I’d felt it; the dissipation.
a second sense -
my ability to feel her - dissipating.
I’ve tried to understand it.
I only have this to offer.
the dissipation is the result of time.
time dissolving - diluting feelings.
reducing the concentration of loves solution.
and though you gently mocked my explanation
your smiling lips lifted my heart -
and I felt it once again.
that briefest moment -
touching you.
kissing you.
tasting you.
that second sense -
the dissipation.
