Description
I've decided to call this progress.Every second that passes,
every moment spent waiting.
Eventually,
my memory will fade
or yours will return
and, in either case,
no one will ever be able
to tell the difference.
I once heard you sum up my entire life
in a sentence.
I once saw you move your hands
and make a million reasons
to fall in love.
Eventually,
time fills itself up
and overflows.
(We do not run out of time;
time runs out of us.)
You close your eyes
and I'll shut my mouth -
these dreams can take care of themselves.

Excellent opening line/strophe. Great title, great wordplay too, as is typical of your pieces.

I'm joining the choir on the time running out of us line. You probably know I love that kind of concept reversal to death.
I also really like the ending. I don't know if you intended it as I read it, but I think that we often just need to shut the hell up with all our dreams and theories about life and simply enjoy each other. Sometimes words can just sully near-perfect moments.

Time runs out of us - that's a scary idea. A bit nihilistic.

I really enjoy that your work makes me smile. Countless types of smiles, but smiles nonetheless.

This is phenomenal! The weight of the first stanza is unmistakable. The beauty and longing in the fourth stanza is breathtaking. I want to roll around in this poem as if it were grass on a warm sunny day. Nom nom nom.

I'm usually not big on
decoding myself, but, as
this is fairly straight forward
and you seem like a nice girl,
I will:
time goes on
we don't
