Save time... see it my way.

Momentous.

I have loved this word since the moment I heard it.

And then

Love.
I believe in that, which is not seen.
I call it truth, faith, hope, life.

Far too many words for me to choose a favorite, but one of my favorite lines of poetry ever is just because it sounds so beautiful:

You fired a thousand moments bejeweled


which is from a poem called "Coma," by a student named Khaty Xiong. There are many beautiful lines in that poem, but that one is my favorite. I still have a copy of the university publication it appears in (and a bunch of lines are underlined or translated or otherwise annotated, because I love that poem).
