I caught a firefly in a jar

Or maybe he came to me.

A dot of light in the dark

In all his subtle mystery.

I pressed his jar close to my heart

And heard him lean closer, whispering,

"I'll last as long as an hour

And leave you, happily giggling."

........................................................

I bought an hour long love's worth in a kiss

Maybe that's what's best, short lived bliss.
