I know there are no extra heartbeats in a life.
No spare minutes.
No catch-up days.
And I know that the phrase, "there's always tomorrow," is a hopeful lie, because there's only the ever present now and the inevitable final curtain.
But if there were extra heartbeats, spare minutes, catch-up days, and a promise that tomorrow will come, then I'd gladly give some of mine to one other, so that we—two ends of a line—could spend more time together... somewhere in the middle.
Eternally grateful, and still hoping against hope,
Your Wondering Son
