Hey everyone…I know, I know…a POEM!?  What am I THINKING?  It's not even GOOD!!!  Okay, so here's the scoop.  Believe it or not, this was NEVER a Sailor Moon poem, just a poem.  I never found it to be the greatest of my poems, either, but my one friend really liked it.  Now this friend of mine, she's moving to Australia tomorrow, November 8th.  I wanted to do something nice for her, so I decided to release this poem, since she liked it.  That's all that counts, so…I hope  you enjoy it as much as she does!  And, Sigs?  I'm gonna miss you to death, nothing's gonna be the same without you!

Disclaimer:  Sailor Moon?  It's not mine.  This poem?  It's mine.  I never mention Sailor Moon or any characters once, cause like I said, it was not written FOR the show!  However, since I decided to post it that way, it is of course, Usagi and Mamoru, because that is what I write best……HOWEVER……since I don't mention names, it can pretty much be any combination of any couple, now can't it?  Whatever you imagine it to be!!!

Time Stands Still

Your face,
so close to mine
Your breath,
so near my cheek
Your eyes,
staring at me so mistily
Your tears,
splashing soundlessly to the ground
Your whisper,
booming loudly into the night
Your voice,
so low and gruff
For us, 
time stands still
As you tearfully say goodbye,
I whisper,
Don't you dare start to cry!
Your watering eyes soften as you look down at me,
eyes once sad, hopeless, and oh-so dark
As you look down at me, these same eyes lighten drastically, dramatically
I see the change creeping upon you,
And I whisper,
This isn't goodbye, it's just…see you soon
There can never be a beginning without an end
I'll come back to you before you know it,
and we'll be together once more,
this time for all eternity…
I promise

You bend down and kiss me,
oh, so passionately,
as though you were drowning,
and I was the buoy sent to rescue you,
your sole lifeline in this world
You stare deeply into my eyes…
and smile
Your face,
so close that your nose bumps into mine
Your breath,
dancing tantalizingly across my lips
Your eyes,
piercing mine now with sudden intensity
The last of your tears,
trickling forgotten down your cheeks
Your whisper,
now laden with desire
Your voice,
rumbling low in your throat
You reluctantly tell me goodbye,
but this time the words do not burden your heart
I whisper farewell, then I turn and walk away
You grab my wrist and tell me to wait
I turn to you,
your hand never releases my wrist
You tell me you love me,
that you'll wait an eternity so long as you can see me again
You hold out your hand,
a bright light strikes my eyes
You look into my eyes,
and whisper, oh-so lovingly,
Will you marry me?
The hustle and bustle of the nearby throng of people surrounds us,
as people hurry to catch their flights,
yet we are left unaware of this feeling to hurry
For us,
time stands still once more
