Time

Have you noticed the sparkle
In her eyes?
The tone of her voice
Or her name in the skies?

Do you come back home
And await her embrace?
The stories she'll tell
Or that smudge on her face?

Did you give her
All you could?
Forget the money, the time
As you promised you would?

Well, I'm sorry to say
That time has run out
And she's moved to land
While you're lurking about

But be brave and confident
So that your love can dwell
Only then will you see those eyes
Taste her taste, smell her smell

Have you chosen to cherish
Her every laugh?
Give up that dream
Or maybe at least half?

If you've done so
Its a safe bet to say
That her love for you
Comes in an honest way

Make sure you wake up some day
Look into her eyes
Fall in love with that voice
And write her name on the skies

Because time takes and takes
And you know
You cant hide
