it was this day
you made me

a promise
about this day

telling me what
was going to

happen

you would
make up

make up
for everything

you did and
didn’t do

so I would
forget all those

things

a day so
memorable I

would forget
all those things

I did a count
down

a daily count
down

marking off
the days

until today

there are still
a few minutes

left

you still have
a few seconds

left
