Minute Hand

you say you like me

if they locked me up forever

would you write me

if I lost both my legs

would you stand for me

if I could no longer speak

could we still communicate

if I went away for a long time

would you stay and wait

I mean, would I come back

find you there, when everyone

else, nolonger care,Imean

will you still be my valentine

at Christmas time

if not, all these seasons

have been a waste of time

I want a love that will and is

sure to out last time

I always say, "this is the last time

it turns out to be never

my last lie that I tell myself

every time
