There are 60 seconds to one minute
And 60 minutes to one hour
a total of 24 for the whole day
But why does it seem longer
When I say:

I’ve missed you  86,400 seconds
Just today

It gets harder each day
to know you are gone
Sometimes I wonder
Are you missing us too?

1079 days later, it’s still me here
Missing you all the more
A total of
93 Million
2 Hundred, 25 Thousand
600 seconds

All that time, not seeing your smile
Hearing you say “I Love You More”
My Heart feels so heavy
Tomorrow…another 86,400 seconds will go by
And another day for the world and me to cry.
