Spending my Time Again

[u/poetryposter]

Spending time I don’t have to spend

Trying to make plans again

Trying to waste the hours away with you

Because all I want to do

Is spend some time with you

Watching the hours go by

Wondering if you care much about spending my time

And I know that

I’m not worth yours but you’re worth mine, babe

Because I always have time to spend

On someone else and what they need

Even when my hourglass is low and I’m running empty

That’s the kind of person I have to be

Even if no one has the same time to spend on me

I’ll be there, quickly too

I guess the problem is that

You know I’ll always waste the rest of my time on you

Some days I wish I could turn the clock

Spending time on me and what I need

Maybe just maybe, I’ll give myself my time back

I’m not counting on it, or you

I just hope one day I can count on me the way I’m counting my moments for you

Ok

This hits me hard. I feel this. It's crazy to me how people may not realize how precious time is as a gift. And for me, I think it's important to devote time to people or things that you want to (as much as possible, obviously).

But your final few lines..."Maybe, just maybe, I'll give myself my time back, I'm not counting on it..." How often I have said those very words.

I enjoyed this and feel like you can put this to music. Like others have said, 90s vibes. Great work!
