All I want
In this moment,
While the fire is crackling
And we are drunk with ecstasy,
Is to pause the time.
The glistening moon beams down
Onto our radiant faces
As we laugh, hysterically
Over everything and nothing.
I wish I could snapshot this memory
And keep it close to my heart forever.
To remind me of the free spirit
I once was before the pressure
Of life kicked in.
There is a bittersweet scent lingering
In the smoky air tonight.
We know our evenings like this
Are numbered.
So, we clutch onto every second,
Hoping it slows the time
From slipping away.
None of us really know
How to say goodbye
And part ways
After all these years.
They say these are the times of our lives.
Who knew they could be so right?
