Forever

Stiff fingers tickle my neck
As we sit in this goodbye embrace
And I've positioned myself perfectly
To hear each beat of your heart.

And over the steady boom
I can hear our moms giggle
Joke about how one day
We'll be married.

Lips brush golden hair
As my eyes beg
Tell you to hold me
Just a little tighter.

Closed eyes almost asleep
And my world not so far from perfect
Breath reminding me that you're still here
Dear God Let me stay lost
In this mystical trance
Forever.
