Work Text:
The lovers could never
get enough of one another.
For even as night fell,
they would fight sleep
For minutes to hours
of sweet talk in silence.
Sometimes the words
were never even typed,
but the emotions rang true,
and read just as well
as if their gazes were finally locked,
and their hands were finally touching,
and their hearts were finally melting
in each other's ever-warm
and dearly beloved presence.
And they loved long and hard-
ten months, or ten years?
The numbers were irrelevant,
but the time was priceless;
Irreplaceable, indescribable, incomparable.
