Pause Button

pause button

look around, do you see me near,
just two lovers in a world unclear.
take a break from the hustle and bustle of nine to five—be my guest,
with a caress that makes the moment feel blessed.
leave all the worries behind,
as this love will not be defined.

hold me in your arms, let everything be still,
capture the longing in my lips, let it thrill.
press the pause button, gently, with care,
the world is behind us, as if it’s no longer there.

with every heartbeat, the outside world fades,
in this stillness of love, our worries evade.
no need for goodbye, no future or past,
just you and me—igniting a flame meant to last.

in this moment of love, let all troubles cease,
together we find our sweet, perfect peace.
