The Numbers

Author's Note:

This is a poem I wrote after listening to my iPod and realized that a lot of songs had numbers of seconds, minutes, days, etc in them. 

I hear songs with all the numbers

In a day, a month a year

But I've always wondered why

Is time something to fear?

But really what's the point

Of all the seconds in a day

Or the minutes in a month

Or the time it takes to say

Something, one thing, special

To that certain someone

But why do we measure

Time it takes, for someone to be won

Love cannot be  measured
By all the minutes in the world

A heart cannot be clocked

Between one boy and a girl

Eighty six four hundred

Seconds in a day

Five hundred twenty five thousand

Six hundred minutes

To say
