Love Poem: Time

Time

Time will tell
When I'm still there
After the fire 
Or cupboards bare

Time will tell
Endurance wins
Past bruises, burns
Or sufferings 

Time will tell
No room to quibble
Just beauty
Past the horrible

Time will tell
The whispered truth
No shout required
No loud uncouth

Time will tell
If you're worthwhile
With every hug
With every smile

Time will tell
No shades of grey
No argument
No 'so you say'

Time will tell
Her secret then
Love letter written
Without a pen
