60 seconds in a minute
60 minutes each hour, too
24 hours in a day
I can’t stop thinking about you
In a week, there’s seven days
In most months, only four weeks
52 weeks, three years in a row
We left things incomplete
Three months in a quarter
Four quarters in a year
Eight hour shifts at work
I still wish you were here
48-hour weekends
On the last day, I get sad
Monday’s seem to last so long
I miss everything we had
Five work days each week
This year, five days vacation
Six hours of sleep at night
I wanted to make you complaisant
Two hour phone calls – weekly
63 days of getting to know you
9 weeks of pure happiness
You aren’t here to hold on to
29 days to break a habit
14 days since our last kiss
Time apart is immeasurable –
Please don’t give up on this.
