Forty Three Hours
by Jerkatorium

I haven’t heard from you
Not a single word from you
for 5 hours less than two whole days
Now I’m home alone
staring at my mobile phone
there’s nothing but I can’t avert my gaze
You know I’m frantic when I’m apart from you
It’s 43 hours since you texted me “I heart you”

Since then
there’s been
No peep from you
No tweet from you
No Skypes from you
No likes from you
No Face Time
That’s why I’m

Wanting you
Haunting you
43 hours gone from you
Take a cold shower
and buy myself some flowers
Try to while away these 43 lost hours
Wanting you
Haunting you
43 hours gone from you
A love like ours
untended quickly sours
like milk left out for 43 hours

Facebook and snapchat
“U up?”, “Where you at?”
I’m hoping this persistence it pays off
Am I acting crazy? or
Are you just lazy?
5 hours less than two days off
I’m so excited each time I see you, but
It’s 43 hours since you said "I less than three you"

Call or text or email me
Put my mind to rest
Right now you’re derailing me
I feel it in my chest:
Where there was a less than three
it’s colon left parenthesis

Forty Three Hours
by The BeWells

It was Friday afternoon
Just a two day get-away
Wasn't looking for anything
But some time to rest and play
While I was checking in
You were checking me out
Swore I saw a second glance
But you caught my eye, no doubt

All it took was one look
And I was falling for you
I had to find out
If you felt the same way too
Finally worked up the nerve
Hit it off when we when out
I asked before I left
You said I do

By Sunday morning
I started making plans
Two days isn't much
But I had to take the chance
Something in your eyes
Said it wasn't our last dance
Before the year was out
We had those rings on our hands

[ chorus ]

That old motel may be gone
But our love is here to stay
Often when I think of you
My mind goes back
To the memory of those days

[ chorus ]

All it took was one look
And I fell for you
After all these years
I still love you
After all these years
I still love you

43 Hours, Pepper Jane

PreChorus
Though I'm less than eager
To see how long this will take (repeat)
Don't worry I'll wait

Chorus
I've drawn my dreams across the stars
Like they're a map
The time and space continuum
Is just a trap

You're my perfection
And misdirection
A resurrection

The way you tie your shoes: a holy ritual
Another necessary piece of clockwork
So mechanical
But still - an act of humanness
Of grace and fine finesse
I know you're not finished yet

43 hours, in my day today
43 hours, to miss you just the same as yesterday

I crossed the date line
Your time's no longer mine
I guess we're unentwined

PreChorus, Chorus

You're my perfection
And misdirection
A perfect distraction

24 or 43 makes no difference to me (x3)
24 or 43 hours
To miss you (x2)
The same as this time yesterday (x2)

43 Hours
by glennny

5 hours and 29 minutes
to start a novel and never finish
3 hours and 18 minutes
to eat pretzels and drink Guinness

7 hours and 90 seconds
to find the muse when she beckons
11 hours and 30 seconds
at sticky tongue farms, herding all the geckos

43 hours
what took you so long?
it's not okay at all
43 is too many hours to take

3 hours and no minutes
in the kitchen making dinner
4 hours and 17 minutes
to shop for clothes that will never fit us

5 hours and 31 minutes
to go to sleep while the moon is Gibbous
3 hours and 23 minutes
to drive my girlfriend to the heart clinic

43 hours
what took you so long?
it's not okay at all
43 is too many hours to take
