You were in my arms once again today,
& I know this may sound cliché -
But I felt alive.
To hear the pattering of your thundering heart,
To see the way your twisted body was intertwined with mine,
For once in a long time,
Everything felt remarkably fine.
I wanted to stop the clock & freeze time,
So I could spare the last few minutes you had left with me,
Only so then maybe you could hear my screaming plea.
*I never want you to be without me.
