Now, We Live

Two years ago,
the world stood still
in a slumber
and all we wanted
was to live.

Last night, we sat cross-legged on
the cobblestones of the Grand Place,
with the majestically lit buildings
towering over us,
people scurrying to and fro,
phones up, eyes down.

Time stood still, again.
Slightly different this time.
You put your head on my shoulders,
out of habit more than anything else.

And in that moment,
as infinitesimally small
as it might have been,
I knew
that we will be doing this
for the rest of our lives.

Two years ago,
the world stood still.
Now, we live.
