If I could stop time for a moment....

if i could stop time for a moment

i'd stare right at you

knowing you were looking at me

but not actually looking at me.

my gaze would be in the present moment

and yours would be frozen,

you'd belong to time - your great enemy.

i'd whip my hand backwards

about to slap you

but my hand would betray me and settle upon

your cheek slowly.

i'd smile, rest my forehead against yours and whisper,

"i give you up to time."

— the clocks would turn again and i'd have to let you go for good.
