Please Stay...
We find ourselves in the little things and our appreciation of the present. Filling our memories with those lost or faded to time. Ever seeking the infinite, the everlasting. A way to slow the river of time and reverse it in our favor. To revisit those who no longer inhabit our current. While wading in the waters as close as we can get to those most cherished moments. Clinging to the shores so close to those we love. Careful not to look too hard or keep to ourselves, watching and begging for them to stay just a little while longer. As our hands grip lightly to the infinitesimal grains as they slip away from us. May your hourglass set on its side every chance you get, every time your love smiles.
