How 'bout it babe?
Let's stop time.
Let's steal eternity and hold it in our grasp.
This moment,
I wish it would last forever,
so come on,
let's make it.
You and me we're one of a kind,
if anybody could do it
then it's you and I.

Wanna know how?
Take my hand,
clasp it tight and don't let go,
not of your hand,
but your heart,
let it fly,
watch it soar through the heavens.
Keep your feet on the ground,
but set your spirit free.
Feel the feeling of being in love.

Can you feel my heart?
It's opened up for you dear,
crying for you to take it and keep it.
Forever and ever and never let it go.
It knows that if we can do this,
if we can really be in love,
then we can have it forever!
No ticking clock counting down the seconds,
no expiration date to time the session out.
We can own the world if we just lose ourselves…
Well, this was just something I jotted down really quickly because I felt like writing. I like the whimsy of it, and I have this image in my head of these two people, standing outside, and this girl gets this wild idea. Haha I don't know if y'all could tell or not but it's a sort of unorthodox proposal too, that's just not said exactly. :) How about this, you tell me what you pictured when you read this. What story went along with it, what did the people look like... how did it end? And if you read this and can't answer any of these questions, then I did not do my job as a writer, and I seriously need to fix that. ^^ Oh, and thanks to my muse. This one's for you too. :)

Best lines. My favourites anyway. Needless to say I thought it was amazing, but at this point I may be considered a biased party... Oh well ^^

What I pictured when I read this was a couple (man and woman) walking along a beach (to a lake) in a forest. Its night but the moon is full and bright and the stars are out. It's their perfect moment and they want it to last forever. They've been hurt before but have come to realize that if you let go of your worries and fears and self doubts, the ones that eat at you and tell you that you're not good enough and you wont make it, and if you just let it all go and live for the moment, that the voices that tell you that you'll fail can't win. Live in the moment, give your heart freely, and you can watch your love soar into something completely knew. And both of them have become determined to do just that.
