Holding Onto Memories

stepping towards you
for the first time
everything around seeming blurry blues
except for us in red taking the spotlight 
with pale skies and cold weather outside 
you were like the sunshine 
shining its parade on me
you taking my hand, running ahead straight into your fantasy 
nothing less..nothing more… perfect it was
pretending to be kids in love like older couple
pulling me closer to you 
soft touches & stolen kisses 
my world crashing with each moment
carrying my feelings away
slipping slowly into the crowd together
head resting onto your shoulder
striking view along the sidewalks 
wondering if it’s unreal for the umpteenth time
two different tunes diffusing into one soulful music
blaming it on the universe for its dramatic play
tryin’ na stop endless times 
before it keeps bringing me back to you again and again
