Love and Time

What is love?
Is it the feeling of unending pain,
until you realize what you want?

Is it so strong to withstand,
watching as someone gives it up so easily,
and freely?

Is it just the empty words you tell me?

I thought it was supposed to be the greatest thing in life.
Forgiving, understanding, and willing to do anything in the world to 
make your love feel loved and comfortably happy.

This is why I love spending time with you,
in my thoughts and in reality.
This is why I love buying you gifts,
to let you know how much I love and appreciate you.
Is this why you'd rather not accept either?
You don't love me?

I fear it's true,
for the love of your life received everything,
things I never needed or desired but always deserved.
All I've ever wanted is your time

The same thing you say you need.
To what?
Get the hell away from me?
To learn to let go?
To decide exactly what you want,
or to run from from everything you've always wanted?

Time...
I'm scared of that,
cause' isn't that where people lose touch,
and make mistakes?
Isn't that where noone gets the chance to say Good-bye, Forver?
Isn't that the one thing,
that we can never get back?
