Emma Lee Hutton

To London

If I could live my life in suspended animation,
I would choose to live it with you.
 
If I could be young forever without fear of stagnation,
I would be young forever with you.
 
If I could stay in this moment and never move forward,
I would stay here always with you.

(2013)
