and when i heard the words,
i could not speak,
for this moment seemed
suspended in time and
i was powerless to break past it
(not that i'd desired so;
quite the contrary, i
wish every serene moment
with her could last
this long)

a thousand thoughts
connected loosely by
a vague understanding
of what was just said
as the past hour
that led to
this moment
is towered over
by the thirty minutes since

and with all my heart,
i love her too.
