Once...
by Nichole<johnsn03@student.ucr.edu>

Once, you looked at me,
ad my heart stopped.
It was only for an instant,
but I can still feel it.
As if it had stopped forever,
and will never beat again.
Then you smiled,
and I felt the weight of a million years,
just in that smile.
Time held no meaning for me,
all that mattered was that moment.
Here, standing in front of you,
looking into your eyes.
Seeing a hope within them,
Eternity caught in two spheres of blue.
You reached out your hand to me,
and I took it.
We didn't speak,
No words were needed.
We danced like it was our last moments on earth,
and I smiled up at you.
It was a moment of magic,
a fantastic thing.
I wished it to never end.

Yes, Once...

Once, you loved me.
