Time Iii Poem by Javier Falcon

I walk by your house,
to see the lights off,
and you not to be there.
Not like times before.

You have gone away,
on the trip you always desired,
leaving me here alone,
with the craving of spending time with you.

Thinking of when you get back,
as life moves on and time is short,
not being to be able to be with you,
as I still manage to get free.

I get skinny as the days pass,
as I stop eating, skipping it,
to meet you at the front door,
to have a few minutes with you.

I lose my figure and get dull,
as I stop doing exercise,
to meet you at your house,
sacrificing my health for your love.

I wait here at 2 am on my bed,
not sleeping when work is early,
waiting for you to lie here with me,
as I hold in my needing arms.

As my need to have you is immense,
always wanting more time,
not wanting you to go away,
as I suddenly see the lights flick on.

Your beautiful face appears through the window,
seeing that you also sacrificed your trip for me,
waving from the window, my love,
as unlike time my heart seems to freeze.

As time with you is precious,
my love for you is infinite,
as I walk up to your room,
give you a kiss and stay by your side.
