There's no time

There's no time between us

for I saw you yesterday

Or has it been ten years since

I saw a freckle on your face

Your hair lightens in the summer

and darkens in my dreams

you gave me a smile for my birthday

I kissed you on Halloween

There were sunsets, but

few sunrises between us

moments of eternities and

lonely in-betweens

I lost you when the band changed

a broken record, I should've

listened, I should've listened

I should've listened

a rare poem from me.

"Rare" in more than one sense!
