TWENTY MINUTES

Twenty minutes
How long is that?
Is that long enough to count the stars
or tell the trees how much I love you.
Is that enough to dream of the clouds,
the grass by my back, and your hand in my hand.
Is that enough
to imagine my lips pressed against your lips,
and the gentle smack from your soft kiss.
Is it enough to feel the blush
of your lips against mine
or your skin against my arms and my embrace.
Only twenty minutes
But how I long for you, in these twenty minutes.

Inspired by Heaven, when she'd be back in 20 minutes. Really on Katie. Some thoughts of day on hill near Nikki's house. Some thoughts of kissing while on the bed (watching Fushigi Yugi or Casablanca).
