Another year of loving you goes by so swiftly
it makes me sad I can’t make it
last any longer
like those infinite semesters between vacations
when I was a boy.
I remember how I used to sit on needles
waiting and wishing for summer to come
But it always took forever
And then when school finally ended
June sped away and August evanesced.
It seems I never knew July.
Time was relative of course
because I was having fun
but not so much as loving you
while whole years evaporate
in the twinkle of my tearful eye
as we grow old together.
