Let’s Lie Here Forever

Let’s Lie Here Forever

By Frederick J. Blahnik

Let’s lie here forever

Wrapped up in each other’s arms tighter even than Saran

The feeling of making love still vivid in our minds

And the outside world no closer than tomorrow’s advent of dawn.

Let’s lie here forever

And celebrate the love we just made

Realizing that united we can accomplish anything

But separated we are no more powerful than two pitifully flailing bodies.

Let’s lie here forever

And talk about good times past, present, and future

Holding each other snugger than ticks to a hound dog’s ear

And savoring a bond that in this surreal moment could not be any stronger.

Let’s lie here forever

And listen to the wind singing to us through dirty glass windowpanes

Thinking that life couldn’t be more idyllic than it is in this instant

But knowing sorrowfully that good times never last.

Let’s lie here forever

And just wish the outside world and its litany of thorny problems away

Here, embraced in this two-person cocoon, nothing could possibly be sweeter

If only time would stop for us right now and then never restart.

Let’s lie here forever…..

And never return to that imperfect world we left behind

The love we feel right now transcends all of that a millionfold

Let’s never go back to it, okay?

OKAY???
