The Hourglass

An hourglass of memories lies 
beneath our souls

Countless moments of joy shared
by two hearts bonded into one

My heart raced against yours, how
you would laugh and tell me yours
was faster, it was, as you were the 
first to reach the finish line

Well knowing you would be making
the mistake of your life, could I dare
tell you so?

So for now, you will have to share
this hourglass with me, when you
visit, please remember not to lock
the door.....
