i can't slow

the world down.

i can't stop time

from ruining lives.

i can't prevent

good times

from seeping

between my fingers.

i can't look into 

your eyes forever. 

but if our 

fingers are entwined 

and the gaps are filled,

maybe the time we spent 

together can be relived.

look at me, 

thinking about you 

for absolutely no reason

and you know it

because you 

pass me smiles 

that are teasing.
