I am just a moment
And that moment fades away
When the newness wears off
And my gold
Fades to gray.
No more than a brief thought
That flutters through the mind
So quickly forgotten
And so swiftly
Left behind.
My memory not worth much
Is foggy at best
You remember I existed
But have you forgotten
The rest?
Like the feelings I gave you
When we first spoke
Goodnights every evening
Good mornings
When we woke?
The glimmer that shined
From the sunshine in my eyes
When I whispered your name
Through muffled
Soft sighs.
That seems only yesterday
And yet here we are
I wave goodbye
because you drifted so far;
you don’t even see
That I want you to stay
I pushed too much
With the feelings
That I couldn’t keep at bay.
But it was only a moment
And I no longer glitter
The shine is all gone
The life in me dimmer,
I am only a moment
And that moment fades away
When the newness wears off
And my gold
Turns to gray.
