A Countdown to my Sweetheart

Sweetheart
Paired as one
Everyone saw it but the two
Heart beat skips not two but three
Constantly pushed together but didnt know what four
Eyes open with this many days left, five
The words they both wanted to say, how many in total? six
Counts until they won’t see each other, seven
The embrace they had until torn apart, only a few seconds equal to eight
Scared to tell the other there were only conversations of nine
And I will wait till you speak in ten.

seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years
I’ll wait.
