And Time Would Stop For This　　

Live in that moment. Love in that moment.

I've scrawled it on countelss pieces of paper; scratched it onto desks, walls, jeans and notebooks; whispered it into unsuspecting ears, and it has been burned into my mind. It screams loudly within my head, bouncing off the walls and almost bursting. A moment, and then my mind busts. Through it all, I saw your face through those crimson thoughts and the pieces of memory swimming through the air.

 

Time stood still for a moment, but only for a moment.

 

Running through my veins, this liquid fire cries out, stronger and faster, every inch ofmy body begins to tingle. Pricked and proded by your very presence, I am lifted up; soaring above it all. My feet are firmly planted on the ground, spinnning. I'm being molded. Surely, but slowly. Or so it seems...This feeling refreshes me. A breath of cold air runs through my body, escaping my pores like little droplets of ice as the ground still spins and the potter's hand stil molds. My thoughts are still fixated upon you.

 

Time stands still for a second, but only for a second.

 

Here I am. Facing the fact that our faces are inches from each other. All I can do is bite my lip and smile softly and run my fingers through your hair. I giggle to myself and whisper you a song from memory, hoping that somehow you will hear it and it will keep you warm tonight...Beneath this mask of iron, this seemingly strong yet, thin veneer of might, I am breaking apart, breathing naught. I am being torn into pieces at the very thought and reality screaming in my face. I question once, twice or even a million times whether all of this is reality. Every single time, I am pushed back to the fact that this IS real. And this moent will be only what I make it.

 

Time stands still for a minute, but only for a minute.

 

I want to hold you, arms wrapped around you tightly, with a vice grip, but gently; oh so kindly, carressing every inch of your body. Giving you a feeling of security, to be safe with me, is all I want you to feel...I grasp your hand, palm to palm; our fingers laced like corset wedding vows, bound til death do part. And at the sting of death, with my last breath, I'm yours. I urge to lean in, take a chance, breathing quickly, heart in hand, and share; Share with you an endless kiss, we meet at our lips...

 

And here time stops, but only for eternity.

Author's Note

Wrote it today,
in class, because my classes are boring,
and no one ever does anything on mondays.
Hope you like it.
This poem might have run off a bit,
so you might have to catch it if you aren't too lazy. >.<
