This is not wasted time

There is not good
Or service 
That I am expecting in return 
For the time I’ve spent 
There is nowhere 
That we’re trying to get to
Like a timed race 
There is no bank vault 
Where I’m storing
These memories we’ve made 
Other than my own heart 
I know that one way or another 
There will come a time 
When we may no longer be together 
Either because you choose
That you don’t want me
Or one of us dies 
Or is lost at sea 
I know that this won’t be forever 
But you’re here with me now 
And I’m thankful 
So thankful that I would live 
A whole other life 
Of agony and despair
Just to experience this moment again 
But I have it right now
And I don’t have to suffer for it
And I am thankful
