We all know time passes
Just blink and it is gone
But, you can bring it back a little
Just by listening to a song
A video, an mp3
You can travel through the years
It might bring you a sweet smile
Or may accentuate your tears
Time is such a fickle beast
It's a vesper you can't hold
One day you are young and fair
And the next day you are old
There never is enough of
And it vanishes so fast
You look into your future
And start remembering your past
Time cannot be captured
You can't trap it, make it yours
You can't keep it in a bottle
It won't help you open doors
But, just where does the time go?
Does it disappear for good?
If you knew you could just save it
Would you do it if you could?
I think I have an answer
Now that time has passed me by
I have less time in my mirror
That's the truth and not a lie
I think that time's immortal
It will never go away
It just hangs around and lingers
But, it's forever here to stay
So, back to our first question
Where exactly does time go ?
Time ...goes into your memories
Time goes into your mind's show
It feeds you little snippets
From the past, when you were young
It comes out from a scent you smell
Or you a hear a song that's sung
Time...it never leaves you
Though you don't know where it went
The memories stay with you
And will show how time was spent.
