Stop time when he is near
I need to savour every second
need to trace my fingers down his shirt sleeves
and grab on to those hands

Stop time for me
those delicate neck kisses alone
deserve a foot-length of poetry
But time just flies as always
and I have so much I need to do
so many pressing deadlines
so much work beckoning

But when he's around
I just want to stop time
sink into his arms
and the whole world becomes
unimportant - in an instant.
