what time is telling me

i have loved you for over five years
it feels as though there was never a time without you
your smile and your warmth have woven their way into all of my memories
and i am unable to envision myself alone
in recent years i have molded myself into someone i can finally call an adult
all because of lessons you and your love have taught me
now we're two years and three months into our marriage
no longer newlyweds, we are making a life together
we lean on each other when times are hard
there is laughter and peace
in the house that your strong hands have made a home
still, with all my blessings
i am not content
i've always been impatient
pressing time, hurrying life along
i know i am supposed to enjoy life for what it is right now
but i am unable to calm my emotions
and time is telling me that
i have loved you for five years
and i am ready to watch our love grow into something more
every day i am quietly (and sometimes not so quietly)
pleading with you to give me what my heart desires
i understand your arguments
i clearly see your point and on some level i agree with it
but when i started loving you, it was never a question
of money or time or planning
it was simply because we were ready to give each other our hearts
nothing was going to stop us, we just made it work
and that's how i wish it could be
with our child
