a moment
i used to count grains of the sands of time,
one by one,
and wait for the day i would meet someone like you,
i would take each grain and let them pass through my fingers,
so i could feel each fleeting second,
and I would know when a minute lingered a little too long,
I would collect hours in hopes to use them when we met,
so time would slow down just enough to truly know you,
but when we met time stopped,
and for the first time ever,
i forgot about time.
and it felt like just a moment,
but it was the only moment i ever wanted.
