It's that moment right before I fall asleep;
the seconds that feel like minutes
and the minutes that seem to drag
in between shallow, steady breaths.

That little eternity after my eyes close
and my body settles into stillness.

That slow and silent drift,
hanging in the space between
reality and dreams.

That far away feeling of falling,
heavy but weightless.
Numb.

It's in that dwindling descent, that
infinite moment

that timeless forever

that you
love me.
