Every prescious minute

''No need for you to be with me all the time
whenever I'm here '', he tells her.

Meaning, he's here for her
and she may organise her daily schedule
as best as she sees fit.
No need to change her routine for him.
He 'll accomodate her needs anyway.


''There is every need in the world
to be with you all the time
when you're here'', she tells him.

Because every minute they spent apart 
when she knows he's right there,
waiting for her,
is torture.

Coping without him,
not seeing or touching or smelling him
when he's miles and miles away
is one thing.
Doing without him
when he's within walking distance
is totally another.

Every prescious minute counts.

No, it's not to be wasted
when it is obviously meant to be relished and enjoyed..
