~Race Against Time~

I'm supposed to write this for you,

But no ink leaves the pen.

It just doesn't seem real,

This situation we're in.

I had a notion of forever,

But forever doesn't seem to fit.

I find everyday a challenge,

Racing against time and death.

I fear losing,

You never knowing how I feel.

But I love you,

And that's for real.

I can't wrap my mind around it.

I'm just not ready for you to go.

You need to read the words,

They sit echoing in my head,

Lacking literal ability,

They remain captive.

I know they're trying to break free,

But maybe they hide in fear,

Denying the truth,

Truth that goodbye has come.

It's a race against time.

Please hold on,

You have to know.

I love you,

And that's for real.
