"Fleeting"

What is it that I hold on to
When every reach for you ends with empty fingers?
What glimmer is it that I see
When there is no light in this darkness that ever lingers?
What warmth is it that I feel
When the touch is fleeting and fades so fast?
What time do I really wish to alter
When I know these moments are not meant to last?
What is it that I still believe in
When each promise has turned to just a wish?
What memory do I crave to relive
When reality sets in and I'm left to just this?
What is it that I want so much
When the moments pass quickly and nothing seems to be left?
What was so special that I'm trying to get back
When this love that's ended is all I want to forget?
