Time

as the clock ticks, and time counts down, I realize that your not here .

Time

you said you needed

time

and so 

I went out

and took the fabric

which weaves time

and put it into your

hands.

Time, you need time to make

sure that I'm the right choice,

the right decision,

the right man.

It's only you I'm thinking of

so when you say you need 

time

teardrops come without

a warning.

Time, though

you need more time

and so I'll give you the sun

and the moon

so you can decide when I wake up

in the morning

and when I rest at night.

But with all this

time

and you've come to a decision

I wish that

I could borrow

a little more time

to say

I love you.

Author's Note

wish I would write more .

i wish you would write more too because this is stellar. i have been in quite a similar situation, and this line really spoke to me: 'Time, though / you need more time / and so I'll give you the sun / and the moon.' looking back, i know that i wasn't enough for her, but i've let go of all that disappointment and heartache. reading this helped me reflect on that dark spot in my memory.

Thank you Ern!

Was hoping it'd sound frantic and all (him being strapped for time to say what he needs to)

Glad that my writing, no matter how scarce, could still make you think back and reflect !

Wow, so emotional.
"To say
I love you"
Really hit home, I've felt that way once or twice.
Keep going!
