The Moment

By Scarrzz


This moment is all we will ever have
A foolish mistake born of urgent need
The pull is so strong when one finally finds his equal

Your beauty in that moment is forever burned into my memory
Even the thought makes it difficult to breathe

I released everything I had so that I could reach for you
And in so doing, released my honor and became unworthy of you

Only one moment of passion and hope
and a lifetime to know what will never be mine

But I will not forget the sound of your voice
as you told me, " I want you "

At once the most beautiful words I have ever heard
and the curse that condemned me forever
