Just a Moment
The moment is fleeting when you want it to linger
The moment lasts an eternity when you just want it to end
There are millions of moments in a single day
Never can we remember them all, try as we may
If he had left for work just a moment earlier
If she had just waited another moment or two
A lifetime of memories, destroyed in a moment
A lifetime promised with the moment of "I do"
"Just a moment," we say when the doorbell rings
The car breaks down at just the wrong moment
That moment when you hear a loved one sing
How can a moment be so perfect?
How can a moment be so heartbreaking?
How can it ever be JUST a moment?
