On your time.
On my time
he says
we’ll eat
we’ll sleep
on my time.
We’ll play
we’ll scream
on my time.
We’ll meet
for the first time
take our first breath
in the same room
the same world
lock eyes
lock arms
for the first time
on my time.
And your timing
is perfect
my sweet baby.
Your tempo
is what the world
should be.
Slowed down
the way you
slow me down,
force me to
take in the
moments
with you.
Force me to
really be here
with you.
There will be times
I miss how it felt
to dictate my own time.
Then i'll remember
my world stopped
when you entered it
and started again
when I looked
into your eyes.
Now it revolves
on an access
around you.
The most important
moments
of my day
of my life
are moments
dictated by you.
As long as I have
time left to give
let's spend it
however you want to.
