At this moment, I love you forever

This moment is perfect 

And timeless and real

My life in its essence

Eternal, unchanging

Expressed by a feeling 

I always will feel

∞

In the darkness, I'll hold you forever

I know what you're thinking

I know you so well

A 'moment', 'forever' -

Two words with one meaning

No speaking, no moving

No breaking the spell

∞

Tomorrow is hazy, an uncertain mystery

Yet with such conviction

You give me your heart

In warm, breathless velvet

You whisper, 'I love you'

The silence is loaded 

A poisonous dart

∞

At this moment, I love you forever

And yet my euphoria

Is weighted with rocks

Love's not black or white

It's grey and with stripes

And all I can think of is

'Where are my socks?'
