sunrise, sunset, and seven days in between

this is best read while listening to Edge of Desire-John Mayer.

A minute, a day, a week in linger.

Life is only for a moment,

but I think happiness makes it seems longer.

Maybe it was from the way we held hands,

with sands on our feet,

strolling along the beach.

Or maybe it was when you made sure I put on my snorkel the right way,

in the middle of the sea,

when I couldn’t seem to breathe.

It could be from the way we sleep around each other’s arms,

or the smiles after every time we kissed under the glittered sky.

Perhaps the happiness comes from the slow mornings, the feel-good drinks, each magnificent sights, and dances filled nights.

Cliche but,

we kinda have so many beautiful moments together.

Core memory after core memory,

a bit by a bit.

If somebody ever asked,

I will have a hard time picking my favorite.

You know they said dogs have their own way of sensing people’s emotions?

Maybe thats the reason it chose to sit by us that afternoon.

But what the dog sensed, have you ever put much thought?

Cause honestly I’m not sure what we are,

but I know what we’re not.

Time.

The more it goes,

the more it’s gone.

Maybe the next time we’re here,

when the sky turns into lavender pink,

we’re not afraid to realize,

that waves arent the only thing that’s crushing.
