Hold me now and love me well
for this life and its experiences may be but only a dream.
Though I wish not for our encounter to be gone after a simple blink,
I now find myself heavily believing in hope;
Pulling the strings of fate is not at all like pulling you closer to my
heart.

So in the end,
all I have is hope,
all I need is you,
and all I'll want is this moment stretched out to forever cherish.

My body is weak when you are not near
yet my heart pounds fiercely even then
as though its raw rhythm would summon you now.
Life is but something so fragile and can shatter in the next breath,
and that is why whenever I see your face...

My breath freezes.
