Our time

I used to believe my biggest fear in life was
Time.
The tick tock of the grandfather clock
Had anticipation written all over it.
I used to fear that my future would run
Short,
But now I fear of moments without you.

And maybe it’s contingent,
The way I so passionately devote
My life to yours.
But maybe my whole life has been
Leading up to you,
The tick tock of my grandfather clock
Had you written all over it.

I am at home in your arms,
When I struggle to fall asleep because
Smiles and congenial touches
Have to rest for a few hours.
Now I wish to stop time,
Existential polaroids blurred in my mind;

My love, my soul is forever yours.

The tick tock of your grandfather clock
Has me written all over it.
