Sparing Words For You

I am willing to risk sparing words for you.

I've heard it theorized that they are limited,

Like years and heartbeats and second chances,

and that you only live as long as it takes to use them,

But if that were actually true,

I would have given myself a heart attack

On September Eighteenth, Twenty-Twelve,

So really, I have the rest of my life for words.

So really, I have the rest of my life for thoughts,

and right now, my thoughts are about you,

But my life is not.
