As time flies on with whispered grace,
It pulls me farther from your face.
The days stretch long, yet slip away,
Leaving only the ache to stay.

Each tick, each tock, a silent tear,
A love unspoken, lost to fear.
I watched you go, but couldn’t chase,
Now time’s the only thing I embrace.

Your laughter echoes, faint and low,
A distant dream I used to know.
The hands of time don’t heal, they steal,
Turning wounds to scars that never heal.

I loved you then, I love you still,
But time’s a force that won’t stand still.
It drags me on, yet leaves me here,
Alone with all I couldn’t share.

As time flies on, it takes my hope,
Leaves me with memories, a fraying rope.
A heart that beats, but feels no thrill,
A love that’s lost, yet lingers still.
