you crawled under my skin
trying to fit inside of me
i tried to keep you out, but i ached for it.
so i lay awake the entire time
trying to hold onto the moment before it passed
listening to each breath and each heartbeat
wanting to keep it forever...
i gasped at the mornings light as it shone through the window....
penetrating my very being....telling me it was over
starring at you...asleep....and the thoughts creeped out....
will this last?
everything else seems to just crumble.... this can't be any different...and because those thoughts escaped..it wasn't.
i'd give anything to hold onto those moments...i'm more than content in that time....it isn't even time....it's just what it is....
and the word beautiful comes to mind.
the last time i did this, i traced a memory of the one i loved asleep in his bed. he is gone now, but that memory will always remain.
