In Time

A breath
A blink
A tear
A smile
A wish
Fulfilled
Or maybe not
A step
A kiss
An ache
A wave
A summer,
Fall,
Winter again
Two eyes
That meet
For the very first time
The spring
will bring
Deep shades of lime
But storm
And hail
And howling wind
Come first.

It's only another chapter,
It's only another step
You may not want to turn the page
But it's turning, turning anyway.
The time
Goes by
So fast
But don't
Dwell in
The past
Just take my hand, and we'll run with time,
In time.

A smoke
A beer
A want
A fear
A hope
Desire
A raging fire
Pent up
Confessions
Ripping free
And at the heart
Vunerability
We run,
We hide.
We're stuck inside.
We're laughing,
But we scream inside.
We're young
Hang on
To our short lives
But we maintain
We'll never die.

It's only another chapter,
It's only another step
You may not want to turn the page
But it's turning, turning anyway.
The time
Goes by
So fast
But don't
Dwell in
The past
Just take my hand, and we'll run with time,
In time.
