Have you ever had a moment when time stood still?
Hours passed, yet felt like mere moments.
Have you ever grasped for any time you could?
And knew you belonged.
Have you ever gazed upon another soul?
Yet was frightened by it
Have you ever whispered, "I love you."

Have you ever been in love, as I am with you?
Have you ever travelled upon that new path,
uncertain of your footing?

Taking each step carefully so you don't falter.
Only to be rewarded with what you lost.
What you thought you never find.
Have you ever given up hope?
Have you ever said, "I love you."
Have you ever heard the words whispered, and knew?


Penned by my hand on the 18th of Ios, in the year 86 MA.
