12 months later,
Will I forget
That there was once
A person I adored?

52 weeks later,
Will I remember
What it was like
To be held in your arms?

365 days later,
Will your warmth
Still accompany me
Like those cold nights we've had together?

8,765 hours later,
Will you still
Hold my hands
Until they're the same temperature?

31,556,926 seconds later,
Will there still be "us"?

A year later,
Will I remember
I had once fallen in love?
Will I still be able
To see our shadows
Collapse with each other?
Will I remain faithful,
And love you even after 31,556,926 seconds?

Whether it's 8,765 hours,
Or 365 days, 52 weeks,
Or even just 12 months later --

A year later,
Will it matter to you?
-- Will I matter to you anymore?
A Year Later

Things change over time;

Is it always best to remain the same?

the smaller the units of time the more desperate it sounds, getting built up like that. nicely written, normally I wouldn't be that drawn into this nature of writing but you got me
