i wish i could
freeze
this moment
forever
save it
in a glass
like rain -
loving you,
so easy now
when i know
that someday
i'll need to love
the heroes in my stories,
the words on my page,
the tea in my cup and the
thoughts in my head
more than you.
i know that someday
i'll need them more,
and one of you will have
to crowd the other out.
and i don't want to lose my words.
i love you so much -
more than I thought i would ever love
anybody.
but i can't lose the words in my head.
i can't stop them bleeding onto pages.
i know you'd never ask if of me but
it would happen.

and i can't lose the words in my head.
i can't stop them bleeding onto pages.
not for you.
not for anybody.
