in the blink of an eye
time dances away
slipping through our fingers 
like grains of sand in an hourglass 
it rushes forward 
with an unstoppable momentum 
heedless of our pleas 
for it to slow down 
each second 
each minute
a fleeting whisper in the wind 
leaving only memories in its wake 
days blur into weeks 
weeks into months
and before we know it
years have passed 
like a forgotten dream

under the warm embrace 
of the summer sun
our hearts danced to the rhythm 
of a love only found in the season 
of endless days
the air filled with the fragrance 
of blooming flowers
as the sun painted the sky 
in hues of orange and pink
and with each beat of our heart
we wrote our own chapter 
in the book of summer love

you a poet 
with a heart adorned in metaphors
stumbled upon the open canvas 
of my notebook

me a dreamer 
with eyes that held galaxies
discovered the same untouched pages 

and as destiny would have it 
our words collided
in the margins of fate
creating a love like no other 
that pirouetted across the paper

within me is you
a story written with the ink 
of a thousand wishes
and these blank pages
lay witness
to the timeless masterpiece
of you and I

in the quiet spaces of my mind
your laughter echoes 
like a timeless melody
and the warmth of your presence lingers 
in the corners of my memories
within this infinite life
you will remain a vivid thread
weaving through the fabric of my existence 
every single detail about you
is etched in beautiful moments 
that I’ll always remember

in the amber glow of autumn 
where leaves whispered secrets 
to the breeze
their love blossomed
like the final hues 
of a setting sun 
she with eyes 
reflecting the warmth of harvest
met him beneath the old oak 
where the air was infused 
with the scent of fallen leaves 
and the promise of forever
lingered upon their lips

her words cascaded like silken petals
they fell upon his ears 
like raindrops on parched earth
quenching the thirst of his soul 
in that suspended moment
the universe seemed to pause 
wrapped in the cocoon
of their connection
and all that remained 
was the resonance of her song 
and the raw vulnerability of her heart

I remember 
the way your laughter 
dances in my mind
like a sweet melody that plays 
long after the music has stopped
I can almost feel 
the warmth of your touch 
as if your fingers still trace 
the contours of my skin
leaving an indelible mark on my soul
and as another sun sets
I close my eyes and find myself chasing
the remnants of you in a gentle breeze
hoping to catch a fleeting whisper 
that carries the essence of your love
back to me

if you listen closely
you can hear that time
speaks the loudest
when it is at its slowest
I hear the tick-tock
as I hold our love
in the palm of my hands
I close my eyes
and get lost in the moments
we steal from the clock’s grasp
finding eternity in your embrace
and every single second 
here with you
feels like a lifetime to me
