Let's Hope It Lasts

under the tone of your breath
when he's left in a whisper you mention
...well let's hope it lasts
in reference to his new relation

sighing, your exclaim it
holds up with most as best intentions
but it's a saying that right away
slices like a scalpel
dissecting finely, painstaking
in what it tries to define

what a bind like detention
the common misconception of thinking
that to dissipate denotes less great
or a waste of time

debate's open on whether the weight
of importance rests on length
alternatively, point of argue would be
there's no quantifying till it's ceased
