WE ONLY HAVE FOREVER

it only takes a second
just to flash a gentle smile
but yet it will reverberate
intensely for a while

it only takes a moment
just to whisper ' i love you'
but still it soundly resonates
when we are not in view

it only takes an hour
maybe less, to scribe a poem
but it will take up residence
and make your heart it's home

we only have forever
though we're still apart right now
our hearts are in exuberance
inside a sacred vow
