Pause here, at this moment
Pause here, at this moment
When you first met
Learn the details
Learn the date
Learn the situation
Learn her name
Learn her face
Learn her voice
Learn her laugh
Learn what makes her laugh
Remember this,
Pause here, at this moment
In the kitchen
Learn the details
Learn the date
Learn the situation
Learn the feeling
Learn the mundanity of sharing a space
Learn why this feels different
Learn that your hands span the same length
Learn the tension
Learn that this is nothing but-
Remember this,
Pause here, at this moment
With similarities
Learn the details
Learn the date
Learn the situation
Learn the time
Learn what you spoke of
Learn the unwinding of conversation, the way one theme leads into another
Learn the ease
Learn the satisfying release of missing someone
Learn this, that this is nice,
Remember this,
Pause here, at this moment
Gossiping of strangers
Learn the details
Learn the date
Learn the situation
Learn the company
Learn the noise, the ambience
Learn the food and the time waiting
Learn opinions, learn to play games
Learn how you both create memories, she captures, you pause
Learn you are the storyteller and she is the listener
Learn she is the storyteller and you are the listener
Good friends are both
Remember this,
Pause here, at this moment
Of support
Learn the details
Learn the date -
Learn the weather, it’s cool and windy
Learn the sound, the crashing that only relaxes you when you can see the cause
Learn her facial expression, smiling but when is she not
Learn what she’s wearing, don’t say it
Learn the words. ‘you are doing well’
Why do little things mean so much?
Remember this,
Learn everything else
The touch of hands
The warmth of hugs
The friendliness of jokes
The excitement of letters
Remember it all
As much as you want to-
Hold on to a person forever, or as long as you can
Hugs have to end, and you have to let go
All the holding we can do is to memories
& Memories are just pauses
So pause here, at this moment
Learn the details, Memorise it.
