As you lie on the couch
in a state of unconsciousness -
lightly breathing life in and out -
I hold this moment
and let it soak
into my memory - nicely -
neatly filed...
As the clock rhythmically
beats in time with my heart -
and yours -
I snap the picture -
and blink it repeatedly
until I can still see it
when I look the other way...
As the sun shines into the room -
splashing warmth on
your face - and mine -
nothing else matters....
