The Moment

We took a joy ride

No seat belts on

And crashed into a world 

Where nothing else mattered;

Nothing but the moment.

Now you haunt me

In the shadows;

A silhouette of the shell

You’ve left behind.

It’s a gaze from broken eyes

The scent on a jacket

That reminds me

This moment was shared.

But a quiet mind tries to 

Calculate how long

It can hold on to a reflection

While the mystery 

Of an un-led life

Reverberates these walls.

I can still feel 

Your hand on my cheek

Telling me to stay;

Arms around my waist 

Giving me no choice.

You cant live 

Without this moment

I can’t live 

Without this.
