I can’t 
Believe
It’s time
To say
Goodbye

We just met
Three days
Now
My flame for you
Burns fierce

Like the peppery
Punch
Of local dishes
Your zesty spirit
Has me craving for more

Yet, I must go
Rebound
To a life
Of contracts
And compulsions

I don’t know if we will
See each other again
But you are now
A permanent part 
Of my soul
