Moments

A moment spent with you is to be both cherished and savored, Yet no hour with you could ever be long enough. But every moment without you is an hour, And longing for you lengthens each hour into a year, Yet no hour long or short can weaken your heart’s grasp upon mine. Though time’s unrelenting passage is both hero and villain, For as surely as it conspires to take you from me when we are together, It will inevitably unite us when we are apart, And those moments cherished, shorten those hours we are apart. Know that as I count down until our next meeting, It’s in those moments I will be.
