Every Second With You

A poem

I wish there was more time in a day
Just so I can spend more time with you.
You came at a time where my life was in full bloom.
Now as I try to make plans, finish tasks, fulfill my dreams,
Is there any room?
If I am made to choose,
I will always choose you.

So let the dishes fill the sink,
The dust collect on picture frames,
The laundry sit in the dryer,
It can tumble again,
Then again,
And again…
That stack of papers over there,
Now a mile high,
And that never ending checklist.

All of that can wait.
Because every minute
No, every second with you,
I will greedily take.
