I wish I could capture a moment
With the blink of my eye,
And have it engraved in my memory
So I can recall it at night.
Perfect as the moment was,
With you in sight,
Smiling your soft, golden smile,
And sighing your deepest, contented sigh.
I would store it
In the folds of my mind,
And reproduce it from time to time.
Even when the tides of life
Have drifted us apart,
And we sit in different corners of the world,
Working on different paradigms,
You would still inspire embers of feeling
That would warm my freezing heart.
And it would be a reassurance to know
That I am capable of inducing in someone so beautiful
A smile so genuine and so full of love.
I know not how our paths would cross,
Intertwine, unwind, or break apart,
But I sure am grateful for our proximity tonight.
And I'll blink a million times
In the hopes of immortalizing the memory,
So that your smile will shine forevermore
And bring a glowing light to my grim soul.
