this might sound like a broken record
or an overused Mariah Carey lyric
but this season
i don’t want presents
i don’t want fruitcakes
i don’t want mistletoe
all i want is more time
more time with my friends
more time with my family
and more time with you
and if i can’t have those three things,
then i don’t want Christmas
Santa doesn’t bring me joy
Christmas trees are irrelevant
if I can’t have more time
this season won’t be merry and bright
if i can’t be with you
i don’t dream of sugarplums
or reindeer on my rooftop
i only dream of being with you
on Christmas morning
snuggled up at home
surrounded by love
if i wish upon a star this year
i’m only wishing for one thing
for us to be together
for as long as possible
we don’t know how much time we have left
but i want to share everything i have
every moment
with you
merry christmas
