days not mine.

with each time

I say goodbye,

it’s one more day,

one more hour,

one more time,

that I will see them less.

and sadness comes from not missing

but that soon,

someday,

a day up to someone other than me

missing is all I’ll be able to do

and I’ll wish

I would have realized

that each of us

have a day

a day not up to us,

or them,

but to someone else

someone who reminds me to tell them,

and not wait

one more day

because days are all we have

they’re all we have

and today is one less.

I need all my days

said Otis.

and I agree.

and I agree.

but I also need all of theirs.
