untitled from "i saw you as a flower: A Poetry Collection" (Ellen Everett)

if you're looking for forever, i'll take the batteries out of my clocks. so that we'll be stuck inside this moment as if time had really stopped. i would tell you i love you every second, except here, seconds do not exist. so I'll say i love you with each breath, with each smile, with each kiss. and when i die, you can crank your watch, restart you clocks, begin the time. and know that we were infinite in the moment that you were mine.
