Time Stood Still Poem by Priya Patel

Time stood still, a cliche I know
But for a few short hours
Time did stand still

I saw you approaching
And my heart skipped a beat
I ran straight into your arms
A feeling bittersweet

You gazed deep into my eyes
As crystal tears formed suddenly
Kissing away the small drops
You held onto me tightly

Time stood still, a cliche I know
But for those few short moments
Time did stand still

Till the wee morning hours
We spoke of future dreams
We laughed and we smiled
For hours it seemed

We kissed in the restaurant
And others smiled inwardly
We held each others hands

As if there was only you and me
Time stood still, a cliche I know
But for a few short moments
Time did stand still

You watched me sleep
And then awoke me with your lips
Your fingers touching my skin
Sighing at the gentle nips

We made love all into the night
And in the morning hours again
Knowing our time was about to end
We laughed and kissed again and again

Time stood still, a cliche I know
But for a few short hours
Time did stand still
