Time

Not a week 
of nights go by
without me lying 
in my bed
hoping
for dreams of you.

Ne'er a full rotation
of the earth and sun
will pass
without an incredible
longing for you.

Not one hour
may slip through the day
without a thought of you
taking my breath away.

Nor can a minute
dissipate
without a fleeting glimpse
of you
smiling at me.

And for every second
that may depart
there is another tug
at my lonely heart
that reminds me
as they tick away
of how very much
I love you
in every way.
