Without You

A different timeline for you…

We are willing to pay for another week. 

Or another month. 

But you trust us so much…

If you could be pale you would be. 

If we could skip this day, we would. 

Except that-

Our tenderness is our way of apologizing. 

A different timeline for you. 

We are willing to pray for another day…

But instead-

We pay for a lifetime without.
