"There's nothing you can do, Just be with me. Hold me, just as a friend."

"I can't do that. Not just as a friend."

So many lost years--never the right time, but now I must...

Cradled close in my arms, his head on my shoulder, I hold those green eyes with my own--and finally kiss him.

"Malcolm, do you mean that?"

All I can do is kiss him again, more desperately.

"I've loved you for so long, but you never..."

"Sssh, love..." finding my voice at last, "We'll have the rest of our lives together."

... an hour.

"To see Heaven in a Grain of Sand,
And Beauty in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the Palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."

--W. Blake
