Day 3...Time

Time

Seconds, Minutes

Hours, Days,

Weeks, Months

Years

Time

You told me that we would have more time

Time to watch the sun silhouette your frame

As you radiate more than the sun kissed sky

Time for me to learn the curves of your hourglass

And secrets that your smile tends to hide

To taste your smooth caramel

While caressing the fears that lie hidden beneath the deepest folds of your mind

Time to become lost in your gaze

Captured by the depths of the soul I could glimpse within

You said that we would have more time

Time to grow old together

As we create the wrinkles of joy and pain

That one day would etch themselves upon our faces

Time to learn the trail of your tears

When your heart was too heavy for such beautiful eyes to hide

Time to lift you in my arms

When the world slipped from underneath your strong stance

Time to make sure I was the only one given a second chance

You promised me we would have more time

Time for me to fall in love with you in a continuum of beauty and strength

You promised me time

But then you left me

Alone

Brokenhearted, You left me

God stole our moments and left me with the memories

Smiles lost in seconds

Embraces trapped in minutes

Longing stretching hours

Causing tears to stream for days

And heartache to envelope the weeks without you

You promised me that we would have more time

Time promised in a future that neither of us could see

A promise replaced by the reality

You promised that we would have more time

But tomorrow and today misunderstood

And time

Lost in the confusion

Decided there was no longer time for us

No longer time for you
