Shall we question that
Which separates us
More so than the ocean
And even more than the cost?
Shall we fight it
Or let it take its course?
Shall we watch the ticking hands
Until we go insane?
I cry over it
And accuse it of being a waste
You praise it
And say it is to be treasured
A year in our wake
Filled with that which
Cannot be described
Only remembered
You have a strength
That you are unaware of
You say I have confidence
Yet it all came from you
You wait for me
For what seems like forever
So much time ahead of you
Yet so much behind
Suspended eternally
Or so it feels
Time is neither slow nor fast
It is constant
