Time doesn't exist
It's something we only perceive
And it does funny things when I'm around you
For the past few months time has been frozen
The hand of the clocks on your wall glued to one position
3:15
And when I leave your presence it sped up
To breakneck speed
to whenever I would see you next
But now
Now time has slowed to a crawl
The seconds feel like minutes and the minutes hours
And it would help if I didn't keep looking at it
And I know I shouldn't but I do
I count down the minutes like it's all I have left
And it is
Time is all I have left
The ticking sound of the of the clocks on my wall are all I have left
And all it does is serve as a reminder
that I'm not with you
