Take a Picture

If this is a picture,
I would be happy to live in it,
Content to lie in your arms
Forever, watching the sun
Fall on your cheeks
Illuminating your face.

If I could just freeze
This moment in time
And not have to worry
About that test tomorrow
Or what I’m going to wear
At the next dance.

Even though it would
Be fun,
to go there with you
It’s just not the same
As when we lie here
Your arms around me
My arms around you
Safe from the world.

So take a picture, darling
So that I can remember
This feeling
After you’re gone.
And no matter how much time
Passes, I can still
Come back to the world
Of your arms around me
My arms around you
And live in it,
Forever.
