‘All I Ever Wanted’

Now is all we have- a precious touch or word - give the gift of time🌹

‘All I Ever Wanted’

All
I ever wanted

Was

Your time-

To know
Your attention
Would
Be mine

To spend
A little
Precious time

No matter
The dollar
Or dime

Its only
Time

Worth
So much more
Than you ever
Could give
Or receive

Forever more-

To take
A walk

To share
And talk

To be just me
Where we
Could be free-

To make the
Time
Where you
Were fully
Mine-

Your thoughts
Actions
Words

To listen
Look
And learn
The way
My heart
Does yearn

To spend
The precious
Time

With nobody
Else hanging
On the line-

To show attention
No interrupted
Interventions

No guilty
Feelings
Hiding
All the meaning
Of why
You never tried
Before -
Because of
Someone else’s
Flaws

They were
The cause-

Looking back
Youll see that
It is only me

I didn’t ask much
Just a hello
A hug
A touch

Time spent
Together
No matter
The weather

You and i
Together forever-

Its just a matter
Of time -

That time
We cannot
Rewind-

It will occupy
Your mind

Then you’ll realise
It was only time-

So precious
So short
Unique
Only
Of one kind

Its moving
Always losing
Precious moments
Left to pass

So dig down
Look around

Its lost time
You cant rewind

Only a matter
Of time -

Don’t regret
Don’t forget

It was only
Precious moments
Making time

I only wished
For yours
To be mine-

Don’t waste
Precious
Time

Find the place
Contact that one
The time is here
Then its gone

Don’t regret
Or forget

To wish to turn
Back those hands
In time
Not always
Possible
For us to do

But its up to us
To me and you-

The time is now
Its all we have

And all i wanted
Was your time
Where you were
Only mine
For that
Special place
And second
In time-

All i wanted
Was your time 🌹

' To wish to turn - Back those hands - In time - Not always - Possible - For us to do .. But its up to us - To me and you .. The time is now - Its all we have.' How true, how very true.

Your longing just pours down the page, your feelings breaking loose in gasps, your sadness growing into knowledge put appropriately but, BUT tearful after and from the 'might have been'. Perhaps. Words do cry, don't they, especially when put in this style.

Oh you that always understands🌹was prompted by anniversary of my dads death on 6/1, 6 years ago- he always put step family first but wrings were righted begore his passing- we live we learn- tears bringing deep wisdom- wishing u nothing but love joy for 2019🌹

[emmajoy]

Am I allowed to understand if not know how YOU feel, please? Dates, time, occasions, snatch moments out of our lives.. but whilst we never can forget, time allows for acceptance, somehow eventually cos that's what the beloved would want for those left behind. Hugs and blessings.. and one teeny shadow of a smile.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Ahhh- sending sprinkles of fairy dust to widen that smile- live laugh love🌹

[emmajoy]

Yes, we all need plenty of that. x

Beautiful. This perhaps comes from the bottom of the heart, which stays lonely in the entire fest of the World. Your feelings sound very real.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

They are real and thankyou - people sometimes only realise how giving others time is so important when its too late- thankyou for taking time- much appreciated🌹

[Abhishek Izy]

Well said and so true!! The pleasure was mine
