Stop
Pause
Freeze
If I could control time with speech
I would have searched for the command that let me stand in a moment
Our moment
A time capsule image with the rest of the world moving around it
We could live in a snowglobe
Exist in our perfect seconds over and over like a record stuck on the best part
The only music i ever needed was your laugh
Like a melody beckoning me to join
We spent afternoons giggling like school children
And lived life in photographic hallucinations of shared foreign futures
We went Skipping from continent to country
Treating borders like velvet ropes, and facing fears like the reaper was in our back pocket
But time is not mine to manipulate
So we moved on
We cliff jumped from caverns of consciousness
Tripping between reality and fantasy
Over time the borders in the back of my mind began breaking down
I would travel from satisfied to desolate
Like I had been granted dual citizenship
Long distance relationships can’t work
Not when one has such a long distance to go
A 19 year trek across life’s peaks and valleys
19 years of traversing life lessons well enough to know, that I’m still learning
But when school gets out and my Trek is done
I hope you’re still there
And we can walk out together
