The Moment

The Moment

I caught a moment in my hands
to take a closer look.
The moment never understands,
a moment's all it took.

My timid moment slipped away
into the foggy mist.
I tried to hold it for the day,
the moment I was kissed.

To hold a moment is the trick
you need to hold it tight
before you lose it really quick,
just blinking out of sight.

I held a moment in my heart,
remembered from the past.
I didn't want to let it part,
just wanted it to last.

I had to let my moment go
and send it on it's way.
Then my moment wouldn't know,
I'd catch it everyday.
