-drifting-

when I begin
to feel you
drifting
away from me

I clutch you tightly

but you like sand,
you are not
meant to be
held on to

I sit and wait

and watch,
but never once
do you look
back

I suppose it is time
for me stop looking
back, too,
and let the wind take me
to a place that feels
less like you and more like
a beginning
