If you could put moments in a bottle
then I would bottle all my time with you
like sweet wine to the palate
so is every memory of you.
At first we may overlook the moment
until it is gone
the farther we look back
at moments we share long ago
the sweeter the taste
and the smoother it goes down.
If you could put time in a bottle
what moments would you save
and which would you try
to forever forget.
If I could put time in a bottle
I would save every moment
I've spent with you

*loosely inspired by the song by Jim Croce of the same name.

I liked this! Yes, there have been many precious memories that I would save in a bottle, that are only saved in memories...

Into your bottle
waits a savory wine
that gets sweeter with age
and bolder with time.
