When time was limited
we rushed and hurried
forgetting all our little sayings.
When we were in such a rush
we let the hours pass,
however, we need to hurry up
feel and then say all those things,
say what loving meant to us.
The anger and hurt were there,
just the same too,
when time was limited
we weren’t always so good at
picking the best things to say.
Oh but today,
we have so much more to give
to be grateful for as we celebrate
the days that were just ours
to give away as we felt.
Come tomorrow,
we won’t need to explain
how all this came about
we’ll just show our pictures
the summer memories
when our bellies ached
stuffed full of laughter.
We played each night,
our room majestically decorated
underneath the soft flickering lights.
Yesterday when we were rushed
we never had time for
those intentional looks
I can remember reaching for you
softly from behind
only you knew I was squeezing.
It’s terrible to think
we’ve just one hour left
to say our goodbyes
how can one say anything
when our throats are this choked up?
If you don’t mind
we can sit and stare at each other
until our limited time
is up, my love
goodbye.
