I wish that time was like a schedule,
That you could plot out the dates
And never feel uncertain of where you were going.
If only time was definite,
That it was a railroad track turning left and right
And never feeling like you didn’t know what to expect.
Why can’t time be on time?
Instead of leaving me waiting for something to happen.

Time hasn’t exactly been a friend of mine.
Sometimes we’re moving too fast,
Others we move too slow.
Often lost and fogged by smog,
Yet with every chug it gets a little bit clearer.
But time has done one thing right,
Time brought me to you.

Time allowed for a brief moment of our lives to intersect.
As if by fate, we crossed paths and pulled the brake.
We stopped for a minute, you and I
With no worries of what was and where we were going,
All that mattered was us, here and now.
And now lasted forever.

But let’s face it
Life is locomotion
And time is an unstoppable momentum,
A constant that can never be defied.
I wish that I could just stop with you forever
But that’s just not how destiny planned it for us.

So we move on.
On a different track, on a different road, forward.
Our lives moved in opposite directions,
Further and further away from the another.

But no matter how far apart we are,
No matter how many mountains you’ll pass
And rivers you’ll cross
No matter what direction you'll take
I’ll be there.

And wherever we may go someday,
near or far, high or low,
At least we know for now
That now will last us forever.
