What separates me from you and you from me is

Something notably more than extraordinary

Amazing and meticulous, predictable as the tide

Turning seconds into minutes, minutes into hours

Hours passing til the end of the day

Never quit, always tick

Its motto stands true and strong

Though we may lose track, it keeps on

Slipping past us stealthy as a serpent

Til we're out and have no more to spare

When we're dying of boredom and

Restlessly waiting, it

Passes slow, constantly agitating

But watch out! It might just pass in a flash

If you don't catch it now, you just might

Never get it back

'Talk to you later' he promises me often

I've stopped regarding that now

He doesn't have a say

Time will always have its way

He doesn't have enough

I can wait

Always consistent, never pausing for any reason

Get a little confused after Daylight Savings Day

But that's a small price to pay

For all it does for us

If not for it, I would never have ever met you

It makes a tremendous difference to me
