I Needed Just One More Second
If every time we...
Watched a movie
Swam in the river
Hung out with the kids
Talked at work
Went out to eat
Got stuck in traffic
Raced on the highway
Hugged
Bumped elbows in the kitchen
Griped about our ex's
Played video games
Figuring out why were here
Got to see my daughter run and jump into your arms
Watched you try to out burb my other daughter
Listen to you swear my couch is too short
Spoke like Daffy Duck
We would have had many more hours together.
Now you are gone.
I just needed one more second...
May God be with you now.
