Wildly the time flies
Moments passing in a flash
People and places never staying
Even when you wish they would.
Quickly hope ensues
That maybe they can stay
Stay near, young, and innocent
Never changing from who they were
Then despair crashes
And releases that hope
Because people change and grow
And maybe leave you behind to move
Softly longing creeps
Into your heart
Grips your mind and stays
Vowing never to let you forget
The past and how things were then
When all was perfect and true
Two hearts combined to one
Shattering the peace
Daringly you wait
For a moment to return
And bring you back to a time
A time without the pain of knowing
Slowly wanting builds
Anticipation grows cautiously
Know the pain, and the excitement at
Knowing the people you once knew again
Gracefully, curiosity sits
Patiently waiting for a moment
To spring forth and explore the world
That was left behind, gone, but not missing
Boldly excitement wanders
And reaches out to those ones
That left you behind to be alone
While still remembering who you were
Only to be reminded of pain once again
Reminded that time isn’t the healer
That mends everything broken
Only knowing hope does.
