Precious Moments

if only there where
50 hours in a day
so that dreams and fantasies
could come out to play
and stay.
there's too many wonders
teasing wishes into life
but then the world cuts right in
like the blade of a knife
and we move on.
but i wanna stay in the moment
of being with my friends
of snuggling with my lover
knowing nothing has to end
i wanna never leave my family's side
and when i hurt, i don't wanna hide
the pain.
but let it leave
so i can live on again.
i wanna live in the laughter
of making a mistake
and rejoice in the memories
of what my mom and i have made.
the closeness of a father
and a daughter can't be spared
and maybe someday somewhere
my brother and i can learn
to speak
not shout.
i wish these moments
these times of pure happiness
why can't i stay?
why must i always go?
i'll never know
and not knowing
that i hate most of all
because
what if
i stumble and fall?
i just wanna hold on
to these moments in my story
with 50 hours in a day
and nothing left to worry.
