Age Gap (One Year)

31,556,926 seconds,


From me to you


31 and a half million,


Stand between two.


I shan't stop trying,


Using pick after pick.


To break down the wall,


520,000 minutes thick.


It was built upon preconceptions,


And the bricks are made of opinion.


I seek to tear it down,


And enter your dominion.


Let the opinions be shattered,


May what you assumed come tumbling down.


As I leap across the gap,


Over a river in which I could drown.


For I may not be the child,


About who'm you can not decide.


The gap is not so gaping,


It's only 9,000 hours wide.


To be this close to something so perfect,


But to have it slightly out of your reach.


Do I clamber through this huge ravine?


This is a lesson you can not teach.


Do I try to fight for a flower,


For which my heart could bloom?


Or do I let the choice be made,


And let the future enter its tomb?


Together there is a future,


A path with so many ways.


But would it be fair to blockade it,


With a fence of 365 days?


We're merely 52 weeks away,


From an adventure into the unknown.


I gift you a heart ripped and broken,


But with you, the pieces are sewn.


Join me, hold my hand, and into the depths delve,


There are merely months between us, of which there are but twelve.
