dead moment

Moments slip away

faster than I'd like them to.

Moments I could hold onto forever

moments I would hold onto forever

if I were given the chance.

Although memories are forever,

I wish the moments could last

just a little bit longer.

The surrealness I experienced

just less than a week ago

is stuck

and I'm still comprehending

an unforgettable,

amazing,

surreal

moment

that has now turned into

only a memory.

I would have stayed in that moment for eternity

and let it capture me endlessly.

Two minutes

can feel like a lifetime

when they're so surreal

you can barely feel it.

I lived in this moment

which became more unreal by the second

unable to comprehend what was happening.

I leave

still processing

still reminiscing

wishing I was still there.

And days later

I'm still grieving a memory

that I wish could have lasted

just a little bit longer

in the moment.
