Michael212 Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Why can't moments last forever? The first time you met The awkward anticipation Does this person like me? My God - they do! The first time you kiss And it feels like heaven melted and is flowing down into your soul. Getting to know one another Golden afternoons Colors are sharper, smells are from your childhood Laughter flows easily Love flows readily Each moment, each breath is like the answer to a prayer. You step outside of yourself And stand on a precipice overlooking all creation And get ready to jump with your beloved. Why can't moments last forever? The first time they leave and you feel uneasy The first time they don't pick up the phone The first time they say something that hurts you The first time you spend an afternoon alone. The first time you wonder what they are doing The first time you doubt their word The first time a shadow passes between you The first time you feel it - sense it - dread it The fall. Moments can't last forever. They pass and leave memories That break you Burn you Bleed you Turn you inside out Leave you for dead Thank God moments don't last forever. Thank God for the rise - and the fall.
