As time goes by

As time goes by without you I feel as if I’m losing myself,
Feels like all my thoughts and emotions are put away on a shelf,
I feel like that in the inside I’m all alone and just done,
Like I’m dying inside and feeling numb,
I pray this goes away and I can be me again ,
Please send me your love make me whole once again

I knew you once long ago, you were different then you know
Gentle and kind a song in your heart a laugh on your face
So slowly it did start I didn't notice you had gone to another place
You weren't what you were before, now you live behind a closed door

Communication may have a lock,
but persistence is key.
The only way I'll talk,
is if it's between you and me.
The only way we'll be together,
is if we know what's going on.
... or don't be surprised,
if you see that I'm gone.

If that’s the way that it is, it’s completely up to you,
I’ve always been open and honest in all that I do ,
If that’s the way you want it, I don’t know what to say,
Except that I hope you come back to me again someday,

As time goes by
I get a minute older
As each minute goes by
But I'm millions of years old anyway
So I say!

Like that butterfly,
Our life has many spendours.
That butterfly has a short time
To do what it has to do.
Finding a mate,
Reproducing the race.
In all living species this be ingrained.
From a worm-like creature,
The butterfly operates a wonder,
Turning into a riot of colours.
Our life is somewhat longer,
But time waits for no one.
We must do what we must do.
Time flies beyond recall.
On Internet sites,
One day our absence will be noticed.
We will have stopped posting.
