A million times

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams,
Yet slips away from us?

                                ------------- From "Who wants to live forever" by Queen

        A thousand times these stories unfold like memories in my mind. A thousand doors to walk through to you. A thousand stars in the night sky as we lay entwined in the warmth of our beach. On and on I love you, and on and on I lose you.  A million lies, one with every breath, one with every step in this world. A million caresses on memories of your face, a million kisses for the taste of your lips, a million times you tremble in my arms. A million times I reach for you, a million times you withdraw your breath, a million times I become your lover. The sea stretches achingly into the horizon, but there is no touching the sky. On and on I tell you of my love, and on and on you find the mysteries in my words.

        If there is a single truth, a singular thought, it must be that one of us does not exist. I cannot tell which one of us is real.
