Analysis of A moment or lifetime?



Time asked : "Happiness, how much time do you need?"

He replied : "A moment or lifetime, I don't really mind."

"For as long as it's Her, and she remembers"

P. S.
The universe intervened.
Time was frozen.

While everything stood still
She had happiness for a lifetime.
