I should have asked you to stay for one more minute
A second to explain your life to me
A second to remember what it was like when you were here
A second to remember what it was like when we were together
A second for your voice to be somewhere other than my head
A second to talk about where you've come from
A second to sit together
A second to hold hands (at least in spirit)
A second to love each other one last time
A second to dream together like we used to
A second to see the whole world, hand in hand
A second to be alone with someone else being there
A second to hear you breathing
A second to cherish forever, if this is our last chance
A second to count the colours in your eyes (They look like little galaxies)
A second to say goodbye, although I'm not very good at it
A second to run down the hall with you, one more time
A second to think about what would have happened if we had stayed together
A second to think about what would have happened if you had stayed
A second to smile at you. I think you might like that
A second to see you smile; I love seeing you smile
A second to sit in the grass together
A second for you to just be there
A second to sing that song that we used to love
A second to look forward to something
A second to hear you breathe
A second to watch the sunset
A second to listen to the birds outside
A second to see you when I turn around
A second to exist with you; we didn't have a lot of time to do that before
A second to watch the snow fall
A second to pick out shapes in the clouds
A second to count the craters on the moon
A second to walk in the rain, and
A second to just feel it
A second to read with you, and
A second to watch you read. I loved watching you read
A second to watch that show together
A second to show you Venus and Mars: we can see them without a telescope
A second to hear you say my name; I hate my name unless it's you saying it
A second to hear your heart beat instead of mine
A second to count the days I've known you for
A second to hear you play the clarinet
A second to watch your hair flop in your face
Can we just stare at each other for a second? A second to stare at each other
A second to show you the tree I used to climb
A second for you to meet my dog (you still haven't, but she still loves you)
A second to write together
A second to show you my old notebooks
A second to show you our old school
A second to show you my new one
A second for you to show me yours
A second for you to tell me about the places you've been
A second for you to tell me everything you've seen
A second to let you know how wonderful you are
Another second to make sure that you will absolutely never, ever forget it
A second to show you that you are not alone anymore, and
A second to prove to you that you will never be alone again, unless you want to be (I will always be here)
A second to wonder where you're going next
A second to wish you weren't going to go again
A second to watch time run out
Can we be together for one more minute?
You know I'd stay with you forever if I could, but
If we just have one more minute...
Please comment :)
