I take comfort in numbers
I break things down into the
days
    hours
        minutes
            seconds
                heartbeats
            seconds
        minutes
    hours
days
since the last time I saw you
until I can see you again

14 years without you
424 days since I met you
10176 hours since I fell in love with you
344160 minutes since I told you as much
19526820 seconds since we kissed the first time
3317760 heartbeats since you moved so very far away
2764800 seconds since I’ve touched your skin
214560 minutes until I see you again
24888 hours until we graduate
3493 days until I marry you
A lifetime with you

I  take comfort in the numbers
I break things down into the
days
    hours
        minutes
            seconds
                heartbeats
            seconds
        minutes
    hours
days
that make up my lifetime
my lifetime with you
