100 seconds

you’re formulating words
that might break my heart
or make my day
and i’m just waiting
so patiently, for anyone
to save me.

but no one will come
and if they do it won’t matter
because only you matter:
only you matter.

in the 100 seconds that it takes
for me to wade through the shock
and recognize the impact
i may not think its so bad
and maybe 100 seconds could expand forever
but i would never really be living then

i don’t live without you
