More Than An Instant
I waited within the seconds
for you to return
Funny how long a second
can be
One never realizes
it until you're left in wait
The anticipation of
half a second to a second
Time .....
what is it really?
A measure of what?
Measuring mere
intervals of each day
What if your wait is longer?
More than an instant
but less than a second
To live in wait of a continuum
of instances that feel
like lifetimes
My days are made up of ....
continuous instances
Thousands of seconds
that feel like hours
Every minute it's as if I lived
sixty lifetimes and died
To be reborn again in the next
minute....
This is what my days feel like
missing you
But I would live and die a
million more
Just to see you again
