Where’d all the time go?
One day we’re exhausted
Lamenting the present
While dreaming for the future
The next, we’re living in the future
And yearning for the past
Somehow we’re here
Saying our goodbyes
Unsure when our next hellos will be
Wondering how we wasted so much time
Did we get busy and forget
The only things that truly mattered?
The bridges we crossed
The stones we turned
The smell of the pines
All heathered memories
We watch through warped glass
Longing to live once again
The rickety recliner
That rocked as we wept
Whether from the tears of sorrow
Or the heart warming laughter
Stories we retell
The ones that shaped our hearts
Friends come and friends go
But they never really leave us
Their soul leaves a hole in our own
That can only really be filled
When we’re together again
And still, it doesn’t fit the same
But as my heart yearns for yours
And hopefully yours for mine
I’ll watch from afar
Celebrating what is,
What was,
And what will be our legacy
