Copy, Cut, and Paste

Stop. Right there.
Silence.
You're looking at me
Your hand holding my wrist.
we've reached eye contact
pause. freeze.
i want to save this moment.
I'll look back to this

First moment,
copied, cut, and paste
copied from the world
cut it, the moment over
but its pasted in my mind.

Stop. Pause. Continue.
Speak now... repeat
record
I can go over my day and hear your
sweet words now.

Shh. be quiet.
Let me put my ear to your chest...
let me pace your breaths
and i'll adjust mine to match.
I want to know your heartbeat

Reassurance.
Please blink,
and I want to know
if when your eyes open
if your gaze will change to somewhere else
or if your eyes will still be on me.
