Poem, But Still

moments seem to bend,
but I study them still.
lives begin and end,
but love exists.

fingers around my throat,
but my lips are kissing.
funny sounds,
but wolves in the night.

shadows through us,
but something happened.
when I saw a look,
but haunting.

still good to have met you,
but I wish you'd have stayed.
we are well on our way,
but to the middle still.

trying to finish what I started
but can't find the fear.
attempting to end,
but the beginning is still near.
