A frozen second
it was just that
one second
a single moment in time
but it stood still
perfectly endless
and the way the world looked
at least to me
changed
every out of place hair
was for just one moment
perfect and beautiful
like ripples in a river
totally unnoticeable
except
right then
I wanted to catch it
and live in that second for a week
but it was gone
while I stood still
frozen
by the beauty
of a single second
one second
a single moment in time
but it stood still
perfectly endless
and the way the world looked
at least to me
changed
every out of place hair
was for just one moment
perfect and beautiful
like ripples in a river
totally unnoticeable
except
right then
I wanted to catch it
and live in that second for a week
but it was gone
while I stood still
frozen
by the beauty
of a single second

And like the many others that came before it that single second too must pass on. At least for you the moment will always be with you. Captured in your eyes and your mind, held tight to your heart as though it were the stitching holding it together. A moment more beautiful can never be asked for. It must be given.
