Time



Sitting near you
I wish
Were the time to stop
You would have been forever
Moments frozen in time
How wonderful it would be
Treasuring them in my heart forever.
Sitting near you
I wish
Were the time to stop

Your shining mysterious eyes
Your ever teasing smile
Tempting me to embrace you
Lighting a fire inside me
All carved onto a rock of time
Were the time to be stone.
Sitting near you
I wish
Were the time to stop

Knowing you could never be mine
Waiting for you to tell me so
Refusing to accept the inevitable
Caught in a dilemma
I wondered all this would not happen
If only I was blind
Sitting near you
I wish
Were the time to stop

You are the one I want
You are the one I would live for
You are the one I could die for
Only to be buried under the sands of time
But all that is worth
is not for me to hold
time is running out for me
but nothing I could do….
Sitting near you
I wish
Were the time to stop
