lost puppy

I know why you’re here
and I know what you want,

but the time isn’t right,
right now.

I lost my puppy,
this much is true,

but right now
the last thing 
I need,

is to look for
an instant substitute
to fill in this blank.

I hope you can understand,
a heart needs time to heal,

before it can once again feel,
so please let me lick my wounds.

Yes, you’re a beautiful woman,
and the few times we have shared
and your heavenly sent
still heavy in air,

helped me to find
momentary courage,

but my wings are so new,
and it is breaking them in two,

trying to take off,
with both me and you.

Give me time to mend,
and when that time is through,
we will see, what will be,
or not.

For now, I just don’t know,
where this thing could go,

so please just let me
try to find myself
before I try to find we.
