Only Stay Forever

Only stay forever

Caressing my cold hands

Captured in the moment

All my breath expands

Still hanging in the air

In clouds about my head

Once more - fill and release

Nothing needing to be said

And we'll say it anyway

Like it's all of top most import

Like the future takes shape with our words

You'll always give your best retort

I'll soak it all in to warm me

Dreaming up arguments too

Occasionally, I don't like people all that much

No - but I always like you

Trekking through the snow

Lashes blinking flakes away

I'll hold what I can

Knowing it'll all be gone someday 

Experiencing each footfall

Perfect patterns in the snow

Expanding each moment

Only staying forever, you know -

Placing each foot carefully 

Like the pattern will always show

Echoes of when forever started to grow
