Need

My eyes never needed to lock with yours
To see through the reflection of the fire inside you

My skin never needed to be a breath away from yours
To feel the tickles of our intimacy

But

Time needed to be held captive
From running away with our moments
Leaving the memories and The Past Tense behind

Time needed to tire out and slow down
So that when we lock eyes
Words will no longer need to disturb the silence

It needed to rest and stop completely
So that when our bodies carve together like art
We can laugh wholeheartedly in euphoric bliss
