STAY (poem)

I can’t believe how fast time flies

Like sand slipping quickly out of my hands

I can’t believe how I wasted time

And somehow, I’ll never understand

If only I could turn back the hands of time

And make each moment last

If only I could fight and try

And stop time from being too fast

 I still want seconds, minutes, years and days

More spare time to be with you

If only the ending of this, I could delay

But I keep wanting, there’s nothing I can do

 But who am I to stop you still?

I believe I’m just a friend

You’ll never feel the way I feel

Yet I cannot pretend

I wish I told you before you left

Now here, I stand alone

The memories in my mind just drift

Until my heart turns into stone

I was never ready to say goodbye

Never ready to let go

Somehow it hurts you weren’t mine

And it hurts because you didn’t know

 I accepted that you’ve gone from me

And that you’ll never come back

So I shut my eyes and of you I dream

And our memories, a thousand times, I play back
