A Lifetime, Too Short

The seconds tick by, as seconds always do;
A second can’t pass, without a thought of you.

The minutes slip by, as time marches on;
A minute won't escape lacking dreams of you sown.

The hours stride by, as the earth spins around;
An hour's not enough to enjoy the love that I’ve found.

The days burn by, as we circle the sun;
Each day's too short, since my heart you have won.

The months crawl by, facing each full moon;
Each month of your beauty ends way, too soon.

The years sweep by, as myriad stars above;
But they’ll not be enough, to get a taste of your love.
