Hurry…

We are wasting time not being together 

Another night apart

I want you

Another meal on our own 

I need you 

“Relax babe we have forever” she smiled and said

I frowned, paused, then swallowed 

Trying not to panic…

---

“How long is forever?” I asked

She laughed with teeth as white as pearls 

“A long time babe” she said playfully shaking her head

I couldn’t laugh back

I didn’t want to

Because I know how long forever is 

White Rabbit once told Alice 

“Sometimes, just one second”
