There never seems to be enough time with you
The days are long and the nights are too
And if I could have my way
I’d steal all the lost minutes in the day
And spend them all with you

He hides his goodbyes
In her hellos
Never revealing
What she already knows
And as the days continue
And the months turn to years
She blossoms for him
Increasing his fears
For he knows the cost
Of true love upon a soul
And if he loses her now
He’ll never feel whole
So he hides his feelings
As best he can
Hopeful that someday
She’ll understand

Where to start
With a paper heart
Uniquely delicate
And gossamer thin
With a pale almost
Colorless skin
Can there be
A more fragile design?
This is why paper hearts
Get left behind

Writing prompt: paper heart
Isn’t it funny how certain people
Seem to make time stand still
There are just those certain persons
Who can give us quite a thrill
And it’s only every so often
That we meet such a friend
And the boundaries of their love for us
Seem to have no beginning or end
We just sort of mesh
In an amazing kind of way
There is never a single moment
Without something to do or say
And when you have a friend like this
You can’t help but want them near
Because it’s such a rare thing
To find a person who’s this dear

Originally written, January 2017
Night after night
She whispers his name
Calling for him
But it’s always the same
No answer comes
For he’s just an illusion
Created by a mind
Who’s tired of seclusion
So she lays there awake
Against unsullied sheets
Listening to the silence
As only her heart beats
And she thinks of her life
Ever wishing for more
Hoping for a future
To bring all she yearns for
Yet reality sets in
That this could be her fate
And maybe for her
Love is just too late
