A Second

86,400 

Seconds on a day

What is a second, anyway

A second is the amout of time it takes

For a boy to catch your eye

The amout of time it takes

To make him want to be your guy

The amout of time it takes

To realize you're in love

The amout of time it takes

To say you've had enough

A second is the amount of time it takes

To just want to be together

A second is the amount of time it takes

To lose it all forever

A second, the amount of time it takes to realize it was a big mistake

But then you realize that you might be

A second or two too late

I really liked this one Annabelle. A second can seems so insignificant and small, but can irrevocably alter the course of life. Not many your age who have the wisdom to realize this. Come to think of it, not many of ANY age have that wisdom.

At any rate, I really enjoyed this, not just for the message, but for the meter and rhyme as well. Good job!

Glad you like it, I made it up all by myself! ;) It's just a pen name, my alter ego, if you will.
