sunshine under your ribs

my days are limited. my love is not.

time is simply a human construct.

sometimes a moment is forever.

but

i never seem to have enough of it.

i am always counting down the hours, minutes, seconds until i have to go.

until this moment passes.

until i leave you.

i am always grasping at the fleeting fronds of time

begging on my knees

for just a few minutes more.

just a couple seconds.

embraces, kisses in serenity,

caresses are not enough for me,

i want you to complete me.

i want to hold you and hold you until i forget how to make my own warmth,

until i can't picture you without me.

but there isn't enough time,

there aren't enough seconds to count our love,

so we will wallow here until our time is done, 

(it will end, too soon)

and i will hope that it is long enough for you to know how much 

i love you.

(you won't know, you won't ever know, for my love for you stretches galaxies and solar systems and time can never limit it)
