MONDAY AFTER YOU - BY: Bob Perks

"Monday after you"

Bob Perks

A day that never ends would still not be enough time for me.

I grab hold of you and don't want to let you go, but still you must.

A weekend welcomed one moment, sadly passes by so quickly leaving me wondering if we really had been together at all.

But then the memory of you lingers there deep within my heart.  So fresh the sweet scent of you, that I quickly turn to see if you are standing there beside me...you are not.

It reminds me that life slips through our fingers like the sand we played in on the beach that summer.  Each grain, like seconds on the clock, follows the next until all that remains are remnants of stolen moments.

 

I try desperately to hold on, but the clock on the wall ticks relentlessly. I don't want to spend our life together
watching the clock, so I choose to watch you instead.

 

Clocks are for those who worry too much.

Watching you reminds me that all I really have is now.  Why then, would I waste any of it on what was or what might be?

 

I am grateful to God for everyday we have. Still, Monday is the most cruel of all days. It follows two days of "us" with "Monday after "you."

 "I wish you enough!"
