Can I?

 

How would i know it’s time?

Do i get to choose what date it comes?

Or perhaps the year you’d prefer?

Or tell it to come at a particular hour?

Can i?

And When the time comes,

Would i say, ‘Hey, what took you so long?!’

Or perhaps say ‘I’ve been waiting!’

Or can i tell it to come back another hour?

Can i?

And when the realization hits,

It hits with a cold grip.

Can i grasp unto the hour with enthusiasm?

Or would I shiver from head to toe?

And then i realize that Death has no scheduled time.

Oh, i never loved enough

I never said enough

I never cared enough

Oh Death, don’t take this time away

Can you come another hour when I’m ready?
