Moments Passing

Moments pass both fast and slow but love makes time stand still
Stories fill each rent in time with your ink upon the quill

Heavy-handed with reflection in pursuit of perfection,
Thoughts and actions parsed into sections
Avoiding imprecision constructing my questions
Suppressing imperfection, claiming progression

Intention to envision every possible direction,
Focused on prospection, leading to correction,
I sought out the truth but it all felt fiction,
Against my thoughts but not a proper depiction

Despite the thought, it was never holistic,
Never all-encompassing and not realistic,
And then you came, you proved that I missed it,
It’s not about perfection, it's more humanistic

And it goes beyond that because it’s not about me,
We’re in this together, we’re one family,
Reality struck to flip me right side up,
From checkers to chess like a punch to the gut

I wanted to teach, but you provided the lessons
I wanted to inspire, but you gave me inspiration
I want to make you happy, but your laughter’s my salvation
You're the light to the world's obfuscations

Moments pass both fast and slow but love makes time stand still
Stories fill each rent in time with your ink upon the quill

What was previously essential became unneeded,
Meaningful moments but they feel complete, and
They are a part of who I am but no longer my reason,
My new life’s purpose simply exceeded

Every expectation, every emotion, and feeling,
I’m happy. Beyond my previous ceiling,
And oh how I long for when you break through too,
When your views change and become anew,

At that moment, I dream that this melody plays,
When your soul sways, like a rare ballet,
And your essence is as bright as a new day’s ray,  
Please let the gravity of my next words hang,

I love you every minute, hour, and day,
I love you. Completely. In every way.
A love stitched deep within my DNA,
That never frays no matter what you do or say

Moments pass both fast and slow but love makes time stand still
Stories fill each rent in time with your ink upon the quill

I hope one day you will be amazed
and feel the love that I do
Flood gates open to swell your soul, 
Completing the story of you
