Seconds…

Seconds pass and the day turns into night…

And I come back after fighting…

With all my might.

In those seconds of fighting…

The strength in my arms …

was the courage given by you…

So i just want to say…

I love you.

Seconds pass and yesterday becomes today…

I spend one more day…

With you and me away.

In those seconds I spent away from you…

What helped me survive was your love so ever true…

So I just want to say…

I love you.

Seconds pass and the sun turns into moon…

Before long the doubts start setting in…

Always a little too soon.

In those moments when I doubt myself

Your love gives me the strength to move towards you…

So I just want to say…

I love you.

Seconds pass and the silence turns into chaos…

And i feel like a rolling stone…

That will gather no moss.

In those seconds of chaos your face hints at me…

Be patient and let the sanity come to you…

So I just want to say…

I love you.

Seconds pass and my efforts become spent…

Where some days the only option I have…

Is to relent.

In those seconds I relent…

Your healing love tells me to attempt what I must do…

So I just want to say…

I love you.

Seconds pass and the spring turns into winter…

And I get scared…

Seeing the obstacles that will hinder.

But in those times when troubles near me linger…

I look at your struggles and take inspiration from you…

So I just want to say…

I love you.

Seconds pass and ice turns into water…

And I shudder when I realise…

Everything goes away like flowing water.

In those moments of wondering what the future stores…

You quietly whisper…

I will always be with you…

So I just want to say…

I love you.

Seconds pass and I care for you every day…

Seconds pass and I think of you every day…

Seconds pass and I respect you every day…

Seconds pass and I love you every day…

And my love grows ever more strong and pure…

With each second passing away.

I Love You.
