Time passes ticks rushes by
and it’s
another day I didn’t spend
with you.
I meant to
intended to
wanted to.
I thought of you
a few times
a few seconds
before I got distracted
by something.
Inklings of you
brushed by
again later,
but I had other things
to finish
accomplish
check off.
Each moment
pulled me aside and
took me away
from you.
I didn’t hold on
to my intentions
through the speeding hours
and I dropped them
along
the
way
somewhere.
I went back for them,
but they weren’t there.
And then I noticed
you were gone
and I’m not even sure
how long ago you left.
I wanted time with you today.
You waited for me
until I
unintentionally
changed my mind.
I don’t even know
when I made the choice.
But I will do better
tomorrow.
I mean it.
(I think.)
