Fireflies

memories of you tiptoe 
through my mind 
each thought paints a vivid portrait 
of your laughter 
your smile
your touch 
they dance like fireflies 
illuminating the corners of my heart 
your essence lingers 
through the depths of my soul 

and in this moment
distance fades 
and time seems to stop
because all I want to do
is catch my breath
for just one second
and dream of you
