Looking forward burns my eyes

The now is where my mind should stay

Tomorrow's thoughts bring a sorrowful note.

Today lights your face in my hand.

The next moment may never arrive.

Satisfaction lies only in my grasp.

Whitsful notions of ever after torment me.

Smiles stop the sand from collecting.

The life I long for pushed to the side.

Your heart beats with mine for this moment.

This is the moment I want to be lost in.

I want to stretch this minute out over a day, past a week and clear to forever.

When it is over, and your scent lingers.

My fingers are left alone.

Yours no longer intertwined with mine.

My lips are bare.

My heart beats solo.

Hopefully looking for your face.
