Love Feels Time

Love feels time

-

True love knows that time is short;

That time together has to end,

That time on earth is brief,

And no second can be replaced,

Recreated or lived again.

-

Love knows the waste of precious time,

The sacrifice of millions of seconds to frustration,

The exhaustion of fighting the body’s will,

And the exquisite beauty when truth is lived.

-

Love feels every second of separation,

Aches through every minute and hour,

Soaks pillows with tears fueled by distance.

-

Love feels the split seconds of pain,

Each one as their dearest suffers,

Each one as they pray the pain would be done.

-

Each one as if it were The Self in agony,

And not the other…
