Always



Maybe,
All we have is a minute,
A split second frozen in time, a memory,
Give me one dance, and kiss me.

Show me love isn't a one time thing,
And that hearts can sing again,
Take me away,
To a place where crossroads don't exist and everything is easy,
Smile at me,
Hold my deep breaths in your arms.

Tell me something, a secret,
Murmur through those sweet cherry lips,
Fall in love with me, as I have with you,
Always,

If we say goodbye, write of me,
Paragraphs of imperfect thoughts, scribbles of unfinished inspirations,
And hope, that we can start again,

Miss me as I will you,
And please,
Think of me as I think of you,
- always.
