One More Hour

You remind yourself to breathe,

heart pounds wild as you

walk to him, the unknown,

not sure how this will end or

whether we’ll ever start running,

you see him, he sees you,

it’s nice to meet you too!

The Golden State called you,

as I listen to your melodic

sounds about the Evergreen State,

we ate and drank our words as

you stared at me like I was Fate,

I was mesmerized, you smiled,

Let’s go to another place…

Under the moonlight we pace,

our unwieldy phrase silences

this familiar stage, it feels sane,

right then, and now, there is no

one to blame, there is no one

else but us taking over

this shade

Let’s never leave this haze,

one more hour saying untold

names and past space we had

reclaimed,

longing for your vibrant daze

to always stay.
