Borrowed Time..........

You were his before you were mine,
Who knew we were on borrowed time.
Like sand through an hour glass,
It wasn't long enough you went too fast.
When I thought of us I saw forever,
That wasn't in Gods plans however.
Five months two weeks six days together,
My time passed with you couldn't have been better.
He let me have you just for a while,
To love, to hug, cherish and make you smile.
I showed you love and unwavering devotion,
When you were taken I was left with a whirlwind of emotion.
Never did I take my life with you for granted,
I always knew you were all I ever wanted.
Now I know you were his before you were mine,
But I didn't know we were on borrowed time................
