Passing Time

Moments have been passing by at such a brisk pace.

We always said a moment apart was just a wasted day.

Memories of the past now seem so far away.

It has been so long since I have seen your face.



At first a week came and went and broke my heart.

With it the 4th, a special day to us and I cried the whole day.

Memories of then now too are so far away.

And now for so long we have been apart.



I don’t know how you are handling this so well.

I think of you every day, and at night you visit me too.

Everyone says “get over her, just find someone new”.

Not understanding that life without you is hell.



But more days pass by and with them come changes.

You found someone else and again tore me in two.

How could you even think of or want someone new.

I guess with the pass of time your life rearranges.



Now when I see you nothing is the same.

Not because it had to be, we made it that way.

Even after four years we both have nothing to say.

It’s like we both think each other is playing some sort of cruel game.



From best friends and lovers, to strangers so fast.

Too soon I’ll be leaving, forever to you a distant thought.

Wherever I go, I’ll wish you I had brought.

And as you move on I’ll fade to just part of your past.
