Linger

Thoughts, sentiment, moments linger.

Like pockets that never empty.

Faucet that keeps dripping.

Candle that always burns.

Covalent- two souls, shared energies.

Hourglass upon hourglass, still the thought of you- lingers.
Do I have to let it linger?

The word linger popped into my head and this was the result. Words randomly come to my head from time to time and the only way I can get them out is through poetry. I blame my dad for this, he is my logophile mentor. Also, I was listening to Dreams by The Cranberries yesterday on the way back home from Maryland so naturally their song “Linger” came to mind as I wrote this.
