1440 Minutes

I could talk to you for 24 hours straight;
Just talk. Try me. 
1440 entire minutes; 
No stopping, barely breathing;
No awkward eye contact
leading to a lingering kiss;
Make no mistake, I’ve told you before; 
Yes, your eyes are perfect; 
But 8660 total seconds talking?
I’d never waste it;
Caught in the catch in my breathing,
It’s utterly addicting; 
The way you understand everything,
I get so tired of explaining;
I could talk to you for 24 hours straight;
You said you should start talking.
1440  minutes. Try me.
