Daily Lizard
The lizard I saw
On the way to my school’s library
Was still there on when I left the building
I bent my knees to touch it
But withdrew to imagine
My emotion after it would run away
So I kept walking
Knowing it might not be there tomorrow

The self-awareness captured in so succinct a metaphor is amazing. The aural chiasmus in the title underscores the tone of acceptance.
Another precise poem! Your restraint amplifies the emotion you felt.
