I want to feel
(Taste
Touch
Live
Do)
Everything

We're all too busy
Trying to make
Things last
We don't notice
How fast
Things slip away from us
We all want
To stop the clock
And be trapped in a perfect
Moment
Yet while we are trying
To make this moment perfect
We are losing the true meaning
Of being with this person
Or place or object
It's perfectness is slipping away
Because we are thinking
And stressing to much

i remember what you looked like
when you first leaned in
eyes got all soft
and dreamy
lips parted
just enough for you
to whisper
my name
could you tell how sweaty
my hands got
did you notice how my eyes
started to widen
in disbelief
my mind was racing
i couldn't believe this
was happening  
but when i closed my eyes
i stepped into a dream

I think of you when the ocean waves
rise over my head
suffocating me
start to dream
about the way your hands
feel on me like
the sand between
my feet
Dream of our lips
Moving together
Much more spontaneous
Than any sun
Our words are a love song
Connected by the stars
Of the brightest constellations
The waves leave me
I collapse onto
The beach
You lean in
So do I
When I close my eyes
I've stepped into sleep
A dream I won't wake up from
Till you say goodbye

Fingerprints last a long time
As do hair particles
And skin particles
They all last as long as some
Memories do
So really
It's like you never left me
Your microscopic self can
be reached
through the part
Of my brain
Where those memories reside
You can be seen under a lens
Deep in the ridges
of my skin
