I tell myself I don’t have time

Truth is, I don’t have the strength 

And though it seems to pass me by

At length I’ve come to admit to myself 

It’s over

If I didn’t get to say goodbye 

At all, much less quite properly

I hope you’ll sigh when you see my name

And take some time to read

A few of the lines I scribbled down

While you were napping 

Now it’s my turn to sleep

And I have only one way

Deep, unencumbered, by the seasons

The reasons why we couldn’t be

The item that I hoped we’d be

But time, and energy

Are slipping away from me

And in case I don’t get to

Tell you all the truths I feel

I love you

Deeply
