“The Clock Is Ticking” ~ The Afterthoughts…

Before you, time didn’t exist. Now, every day I remember the clock is ticking.

My, how things have changed…

When everything you are becomes everything that complicates the relationship, change is inevitable…

Or forfeit your right to love.

Did I cry tears of gold? Or hide behind sheets of stars? When you swam through my oceans of pain, how were you able to see me?

I feel your presence, your strength, enter me. Your soul covers me.

You see me, my love.

Your words dance inside of me. Now our bodies are combined.

You didn’t know how much I was willing to give you,

until I was completely depleted.

Your laughter tickled me, until I learned what your initials meant.

C. L. R.

Now I have concerns…

I could never imagine a moment without your presence in it. Even when you’re not near.

Every time I looked at you I saw the sun. And subsequently loss my sight.

Only the night respected her.

The sun never understood her, but wanted her anyway…
