Thirty-Five Seconds

Thirty-Five Seconds

the first few flew
as seconds often do
when meeting someone new
i saw out the corner
of my eye that smile
your simply stunning
smile

second fifteen arrives
i finally find your eyes
our gazes speak histories
truth love loss lies
impossibly blue
amazingly alive
eyes

twenty-two seconds
your soul entwines mine
our threads on tapestry
of fate are intertwined
seamlessly thorough
eternally bound
fate

twenty-seven seconds
is all i have known you
yet we are kindred spirits
set free to roam skies
you know as well as i
that this much is
true

thirty-five seconds
it was just a quick look
but all that it took
finally to realize
that without you now
i will never become
me.
