Minutes Turn into Days
I hear the clock ticking
Ticking away minutes of our lives
Precious minutes that cannot be replaced
Minutes that turn into days
Days that are spent worrying
Worrying about the day
The day, the very minute
That I will leave him
To go to a place
Where minutes don't tick
He sits next to me
He wants to hold my hand
He knows the day is soon
He wants to hang on to me
We do not talk, only breathe
Breathing is a sign of life
A life that will soon be over
A life that soon will be forgotten
Forgotten like an old book in the back of the bookcase
He will not forget
He will live on memories
Memories of the days we had
His breathing becomes heavy
He is thinking about the day
He worries about it
I try to calm him
Telling him that we still have time
Time to spend fully
I've lived my life to fullest
He will too
He has more time
Time to live out his dreams
Dreams that he realized with me
He's helped me with mine
Every single one has been lived out
In the days we've spent
Days that started as minutes
Minutes we have left
I still hear the clock ticking
P.S. What da ya Think?
