Don't breathe.
Don’t move
Don’t muster courage, sight, smell or action.
Just hold. (me)
This lifetime, this moment.
& Hope that it lasts for something truer than time

I saw you, I held you
I touched you; I felt you
& that is how I know… [I . l o v e . y o u ]

For the briefest time, you were mine
You were there,
And I held too tight to the ever-ending dreams

I ..k.i.s.s.e.d. .y.o.u. there in the busyness of the crowd,
The other distractions left when I looked into your .r.a.i.n.f.o.r.e.s.t eyes

I begged for you
I called for you
I didn’t want you to slip through.
Yet all I could say; small words I could gather;
“There's so much I need to say to you; [ So many reasons why. ]"

Waking upon this shadow of hope,
I tried to hold it close
It s l i p p e d through my grip,
ran with the t i d e,
The image of you, in my arms; died.

I’m left with your [words], I was blessed with your presence
Forever being held, you’re in my memories.
