Just one more time

Eight years wasn't long enough - eighty years wouldn't have been either

I wish I could relive every moment together. 
From the moment we first met to the last goodbye.
If only I could feel your arms around me.
Your body pressed up against mine.
To hear you whisper I love you in my ear.
Just one more time.

I wish I could run my fingers through your hair.

Trace your jawline, your moustache, or your dimple.

If only I could walk with you hand in hand.

with our fingers interlocked tightly.

To randomly dance to the beat of our hearts.

Just one more time.

I wish we could lay in bed and let the world disappear.

In each other’s arms, our bodies entwined.

If only we could return to our happy place.

Where we shared our hopes and dreams.

To feel your lips tenderly against mine.

Just one more time.

I know I could wish upon every star in the sky.

But we will never relive those moments we had.

I must settle with all the memories I keep.

So vivid and filled with such details.

Like a never-ending reel of film.

Until the end of time.
