Analysis of Shared Time
Can we walk for a moment just you and I
Can we talk for a minute about times gone by
Shall we speak of how much fun all this is
Reminisce our quotes till the laughter hurts our throats
We can spend a minute talking about something
That something makes that minute evolve to hours dissolving
The clock we watch is continuously revolving
But we pay no attention because its all so involving
We never have boredom or uncomfortable silence
Just a breath to take in each priceless moment
A look in each other’s eyes of acceptance
That time shared in each moment won’t be stolen
Sometimes you’d want the world to freeze
As you think good times won’t get better than these
Such frames of happiness happening again are hard to believe
But better times are ahead for us to again conceive.
