time is precious...

Yet I spent some days
wallowing in pain
of lust lost.

Yet I spent nights
drowning in sorrow
of broken hearts.

Yet I wasted beautiful words
on ugly disagreements.

Yet I gave my body
to someone who
never valued me.

Yet I shared my spirit
with one who
never meant me well.

time is precious...

Now, I understand
life's lessons.

Now, I give love to
get it.

Now, I need to recognize the joy
in you.

Now, I want to promote peace
and healing.

All because...

time is precious.
