For Just A Little While Poem by Diana Holinski

My love for you can’t be hidden
It screams itself hoarse every day
And you don’t seem to mind hearing it.
Strange.
As long as I don’t plea for yours

But when we’re together
And I can see your eyes
And feel the touch of your hand
And hear your laughter mingled with mine
And smell your skin
And taste your lips
I can forget
For just a little while
That you’ll never love me

For just a little while
You can be the warm, giving
Responsive lover and feed my soul
And I can drink it in
Better than Bacchus in drunken revelry

For just a little while
