what if i held you for an eternity?
what if i promised not to ever let you go?

starlight and crystals shining down on
city streets, i relive every moment,
fantasizing about skin touching skin;
souls touching souls, hearts touching hearts.

i live within the moments burned indelibly.
i live within the echoes of a memory.

thinking perhaps if i reach out i might
find you somewhere in the space
between my fingers and my mind.

thinking maybe i might find you
in the pages of a book.
perhaps sitting beside me,
looking over my shoulder and telling me
just how much you enjoy these times we share.

wistful daydreams, fantasies, and footsteps
walking down some path before us.

i follow you toward paradise
each time i think of you.
