A Question

If love could wrap itself around a beam of light,
and travel to exotic lands,
or venture over distant galaxies
could Time run
from itself
and find its way back to the second
that we first met?

And if Death wrapped you up in his Cloak,
and sealed the gates of his doors to confine you
would you store me in your memories
and keep me there until eternity reached
its last breaths?

And if two aimless souls could tirelessly roam
about an empty existence until
discovering true love, could
we not dance as one figure, gliding
its way into forever?

And if it was singing Lust that brought u here,
But only humming Love that enraptured & kept u here,
would u someday be ashamed?

And if it feels like you couldn't stand to feel
your own self
breathing
blinking
feeling
without the warmth of my skin,

Could this ever end?
