    A kiss to make the world stand still?

    It used to be possible.  
    I have a memory.
    A kiss where nothing else existed.
    For a little while.  
    We were outside in the middle of the night.
    Only the stars around.  
    I was young.  
    Nothing to draw me out of the moment.  

    Will it ever happen again?  
    It seems my world cannot stand still any longer.  
    The swiftness with which time is taken from me.
    Always threatening to overwhelm me.  
    A kiss feels like a race with time.
    A fight to feel everything.
    Within the time allowed. 
    The world always pulling me away.
