Forever

I just want to be here

with you.

With your little soft brown eyes

looking up at me in awe.

Forever.

I don’t want to ruin this moment,

as it spreads out

into eternity,

– a moment of moments –

with my imperfections.

My hiccups.

The things that I am,

from which I’d prefer to turn.

I just want to be here,

with you.

Forevermore.

Your smile so sweet.

Preserved in my minds eye.

A picture that will never fade.

Cemented,

into the frame of all that I am and will ever be,

by the love

that wills me to stay.

Forever.
