While It Lasts

Enjoy it
Enjoy it while it lasts

Enjoy the fleeting sight
Of him spread out on your bed

Enjoy letting him get inside your head
And play around in there

Enjoy pulling his hair
Getting rough, getting tumbled

Enjoy getting jumbled up in all your deep emotions
Until his plane takes off and his plans change

And the danger of not-so-close proximity
And both your inabilities to resist temptation

Shorten your elation to the point of non-existence

Your resistance to long-term thinking
Won't be shrinking the short run to the inevitable

This is temporary
And calling it something else
Won't stretch it out at all

So have a ball
Enjoy yourself

You should

While it lasts
