The Pause Button
I’m pressing the pause button
So certain it will be fine
I’m not going to rewind
No, not doing that this time
Not going to hit fast forward
I really don’t want to age
And though at times I’m tempted
The stop button I’ll not engage
No….will hit the pause button
I’m going to stretch out this time
Going to savor each moment
In this love hour divine
I’m going to live each second
I’m going to make time stand still
For now I’m omnipotent
I can do it and….. I will
I’m going to press the pause button
Be oblivious to time
I’ll make you forget all else
Except that right now….you’re mine.
