The minutes tick past
As I try to savour each one
Enticed in your embrace
When I wish time could stop
Yet it seems to speed up
My heart is no match for certainties
Hours and minutes, night and day
Time does not care for my feelings
Time does not wait for you to stay
It ticks away fastest when I’m happiest
And the lonely days last weeks
I wish I enjoyed being alone more
And time with you less
So the days would fly by
Until I hold you again
And then time stops
So I am with you forever
