Date Time

Hear the clocks ticking, from dusk 'til night
The time is running, will it be on my side? 
When the clock strikes nine I will be just fine
Because this is the time that you will be mine

Set a date, Darling, and don't go astray
'cause if you do you'll get lost underway
Counting the hours I can't run away
Afraid to miss you I am forced to stay

Time goes too slow when you are not there
The sun goes up and I keep wondering where
You are, you will be and where you were
I turn and I smile when I see you're right there

Somebody is in love! or in lust, either way I recognize the emotions / feelings in this poem. Good, bad or indifferent, I've had them all - all the best with yours. I enjoyed reading your apt description of the waiting, the planning, the wanting - darn exciting at moments - darn painful at others ... CayCay
