Eclipse

Written by Jacob Ibrag

They keep telling me that we only

have one life to live, yet how could

that be true if that every time we

eclipse, I’d see glimpses of our past

lives yesterday’s. The weak knees

you’d gift me after an unexpected

kiss. The promise we would always

 make to never sever in the face of

adversity. The pain of you passing,

leaving me broken again. The hard

acceptance that forever was a myth.

 And still, there’s something soothing

to understand that at the end of us,

we’ll have another chance. After this

lifetime and the next, you’ll still be

the only soul that’s ever made sense.
