Chasing the Ends of the Earth

Love is genuine
and it only seeks the best for you.
That is why we race,
in opposite directions,
the ends of the earth,
one runs towards the sun
the other, the moon,
far away from where heartbeats meet
and love collides
from where childish banter turns into
sun-kissed afternoons
and rainy Sunday mornings
become all that's worth living for.
Feeling our memories slip through
my fingers
reminds me that humans are capable
of making the right decisions
or what we hope to be so
even on the weakest tide of our existence.
