The Click Inside the Moment
by Michael Doyle

Strangers showboating the skills
Probably don't have the thrills
They talk about so profusely
These things shouldn't be said loosely

Still, we come into the room
With exploding feelings that loom
And I know that your pros outweigh your cons
Until you're colored me gone

I just want to hold on all night long
The feelings moving me can't be wrong
I just want to love you all night long
My heart keeps its double-time beating strong

It shocks me how we talk
As along the beach we walk
I hold you close inside my mind
Knowing there's no one else I'll find

I hear the words that you say
No one's moved me this way
All your positives check the box
Laying it down across the locks

I just want to hold on all night long
These feelings moving me can't be wrong
I just want to love you all night long
My heart keeps its double-time beating strong

Let's make this our journey
Where the last steps lead to being happy
We've known it since we left the gate
We were each others' reasons to wait

Validated and believing in each other
It's as if we were made for one another
The feelings make me feel beyond elated
This kind of love will be celebrated

I just want to hold on all night long
These feelings moving me can't be wrong
I just need to love you all night long
My heart keeps its double-time beating strong

In the end, the cards will show
How our friendship and love will flow
I hear it in your words, it's the same
This moment for us so quietly came

Your kiss is the kiss of my lifetime
I don't even care if my words rhyme
We've held on to find our end
My heart is safe in your love, my best friend
