With shivering hands,
Heartbeat racing
You confessed to me
That you loved me
And the moment you said it
I was thrown off to an imaginary world
For 7 minutes
I dreamt of us together
Living under a faulty roof
struggling to make ends meet
But fighting for each other’s
Happiness and comfort
I felt us holding hands while sleeping
For 7 minutes
I saw us speaking white lies
And hiding extra money in tins
Only to take it out when full
And buying each other new stuff
We both needed to have but didn’t
I saw us growing deeper in love
For 7 minutes
I cried, I laughed, I yelled out
Joyful words that left my mouth
I visualized our entire lifetime
In these mere minutes of
Paused Imagination,
I was undeniably committed to you,
For 7 long minutes!
