Hourglass

This poem is about loving a person until death. I wrote this poem last year for someone special, it's still a good poem in my eyes.

I’ve got no map, just the pull of my heart,

Don’t know where I’m going, but I know where I’ve been,

And I’m glad I got pulled your way.

A grain falls in the hourglass.

Just two free souls who met by destiny,

We travel through life holding hands.

Our hearts beat together as we take on the world.

A grain falls in the hourglass.

A black tuxedo and a gown of white,

The vows get spoken; we say “I do,”

As tears run down your face.

A grain falls in the hourglass.

I couldn’t give you the whole world, but we have two,

A little blonde with his shoes untied,

And a beautifulblue eyed girl.

A grain falls in the hourglass.

The Sands of Time have put wrinkles on our faces,

Most of it was magic, some of it tragic,

And I’m glad it was all spent with you.

A grain falls in the hourglass.

With your hand in mine, we slip away into the unknown.

I look over at you as my life begins to fade,

And say “I love you” one last time.

The last grain falls…

If the life I live becomes the life I lived,

If all of this were to suddenly end,

I’d be happy knowing that every grain,

Every grain of my hourglass fell with you.
