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.
