Time

Do you ever stop and think about
how quickly time goes by?
Ever look back on time missed out
and simply wonder why?

Do the memories of yesteryear
seem to float inside your head?
Do they make you think and keep you awake
when you're trying to get to bed?

Do the thoughts of your past circle around
not giving you a chance to let go?
Do you think of the people who left too soon
that you never got to know?

Is it that we think too much
or that we can't forget?
Why do we let our minds fill up
with the thoughts of pain and regret?

Why concern ourselves so much
with the questions we shouldn't ask?
Why is it that forgiving ourselves
is such a difficult task?

Does it ever feel like time stands still
when you wish that it would not?
Do you ever feel it passed too quick
while you simply stood in one spot?

One thing I've learned and I'll tell you now
we must keep up with time
For as we know, it waits for no man
and it will leave us all behind
