If I could...
I would freeze this moment in time
and capture it,
pour it into a bottle
so it can be contained
drinking it in
so it leaves a bittersweet taste
on the tip of my tongue

It would flow through me
like rivers
surging through my body
sinking into every crevice
before finally settling into the very heart of me
which is where you have always been.

This is what life is about..

But this feeling can burn me
sending me into a state of panic
time is ticking
it's moving too fast.
One of us needs to let go,
cut the ties that binded us.

Yet neither of us are prepared to make that fnal step
that will cause us to disintegrate
and vanish into thin air

We need to take the memories
endure the sting
and break free

When are we going to realise
understand
accept deep in our hearts
that we don't have a lifetime

We don't have forever..
