    Poem Commentary

    Just learning to stop running after things I can't have.

    Longing

    Patience is a virtue they say

    but patience just lets time slip away.

    Time; noone knows how little there is.

    So I pray each day to have the time that's his.

    I cherish each kiss each smile

    knowing it's mine only for a while.

    This longing inside my heart

    something that wasn't mine from the start.

    A decision has to be made

    I can no longer live this way.

    Like a butterfly I will let you go

    Never again will my feelings show.

    To the time we had I will hold on tight

    in my dreams you will be every night.
    I love you.

    in my youth, and i am in my youth, it is hard for me to imagine the time you speak of, the winding down of the clock, waiting for the final hour to chime when either i or my most significant other passes away merely because they have been around long enough...life is extremely sad isnt it
