We spent an hour together
one glorious day,
when all breath ceased to breathe
and the world lingered on,
suspended in some other plane.
We spent an hour together one minute,
for time stands still ...in your eyes.
We spent an hour together
one sublime afternoon,
when the flick of a lash
made the day race away;
the world hastening by in a blur.
We spent a minute together one hour.
Oh how time flies ... in your arms.
