I thought I had time with you
Of your hand around mine
Like a wristwatch. Secure.
Belted
I wore a wristwatch that year
Black, with gold letterings
Even though I have my phone
And every wall has a clock
And every person has the time
I looked to you
For time
And then blurred came the seconds
The digits of time it took to lose you
I feel my wrist for the watch
Watching- searching for you
For my watch
And throughout the o'clocks
I look where you used to be
Each time forgetting
That you went missing
That the secure belt of my watch
Somehow unbelted
Each time remembering
The time you spent, wrapped around my wrist
Around my form
Around the hours that were ours
I thought that I had
Time
I thought that you had
Time
I wanted
More time with you
