Hour Glass

I think I'm in love with you,
which I find kind of weird 
because I don't remember ever saying that 
and meaning it.
 
Before now, that word had no meaning,
love.
 
I think love is more than just putting others
before yourself. 
I think it's when there is no you and it is only
others.
 
You know I have no issue
jumping off a bridge for you 
and landing on my knees.
so that even though i cant walk i can still be with you. 
 
Those... 
long nights where I don't understand how tired I am because i spent my time with you and then when you leave to go to bed, this happens:
I think, and think, and think. 
I realize that i have nothing to give to you but everything, my time, because time doesn't care if I'm in love, 
I still have to take that exam tomorrow at 8:am sharp, 
I still have to wake up in the morning 
knowing that I'm only awake to spend more of my time with you. 
 
We stand still and time goes on 
But in that moment, I don't care, 
In that moment I'm not thinking about anything but you. 
I forgot about them all. 
 
In that moment, 
with you.
