Take your time...


...passed us, time flew--
onto eternity--it said to me...
meeting my gaze with eyes sharp. 

...leveling our eyes, I knew 
what he said was true...we were 
heading towards forever... 
--I can't stop for you...I can't stop for
either of you--he said. 

--do we want him to stop--we asked 
ourselves...do we really want this, 
eternity? 

--I'm sorry, I really am. I fly with 
purpose and reason, however...I do 
not bend, fold, stop, or freeze, I move 
swift, and sluggish...however...with purpose. 
Do not forget-- 

Locking our eyes with him, we said--I do-- 
sealing our fates', locking our lives', twisting 
our paths' and linking our souls'... 

--we want eternity...together...can you 
help us--we asked with our humble voices'... 

--yes, yes...I would help...but you no 
longer need it...you've made your choice...
both of you have...I'll be here watching...
close...never more than a 
hand away. Don't forget-- 

--thank you, for what, I'm not sure,
but we owe you-- 

--all is fair...just don't forget. 
Take your time--
