spinning

"What are you doing?" she asks groggily as she pulls herself up to look at him
"Spinning" he responds with a quirky smile on his face "counterclockwise to be exact."
She just looks on wondering what insanity has overtaken the man who had been next to her as she fell asleep "It's 3:33 am, why on earth are you spinning?... clockwise to be exact" she says as she giggles and throws a pillow at him.
"... oh.. I guess I just got dizzy" he quickly states while switching motion to move counterclockwise at an even quicker speed. He continues to spin until it seems he will drill himself into the ground. Then he stops suddenly drops to the ground and triumphantly declares "there, that should fix it!" He looks up that girl he loves so deeply and takes in the sight of her, the quizical look on her face, the hair that has been all messed up from sleeping, no make up, no fancy outfits, just the beautiful woman that robs his thought space for so much of the day. He breathes out slowly and sits down next to her. "Every spin I take counter-clockwise is a moment in time I am trying to save with you." She just stares at him wondering even more how crazy this man might be. "you see each spin takes angular momentum away from the earth.. It makes the earth slow down for .000000001 percent maybe even less than that but I will take every moment whether or not I can measure it so long as I get to be with you. I always tell you I don't want these nights or days to end well I'm doing something to try and help that."
She smiles pulls him in close to kiss and says in between kisses "I... love.. you... but you... are... insane" he responds "Only when it comes to you" she stops and laughs. When he looks at her as if to ask what is so funny she simply says "that was too cheesy, come up with your own material geeze" and they both laugh as they fall into another embrace. Suddenly she stands up grabs his hands and says "well sir insanity, I think it is time we dance, counterclockwise spins only."
