if..

if the night were longer

i could hold you till the end of time,

watching the fireflies flicker

while their distant cousins herd slowly

across the pond of sky above us;

if the day were longer

i could take you across the world

with every kodak moment

to guide us to our next home of the hour,

never letting loose your fingers

because you’d never let go;

if our dreams were shorter

we could live them longer,

always catching up

on every new idea for how we could be together..

if this moment were longer

we’d be left smiling as this life passed us by.
