with you

And I said, “please, first, count to one hundred”
just to be sure, you will not change your mind.”

But, I guess I should know by now,
you must have already counted to a million.

So, here I count the minutes, the days, the weeks,
months and years and lifetimes, or so it seems,

and I count the heart beats,
and I count the tears
and I count the regrets, 
and I count the sorrows,

and in the end,
I do see, I must have only been
where I thought I should be,
but if you did not think so too,
that's why I'm not still with you.
