were

time ever fleeting so fast it makes me dizzy
and seeing a glimpse of now and then
of the way it can be – the way it should be
but not the way that it will be
a slow and painful final chapter
and of course i go along with it
because i know no other way to be
and all i want to do is reach out
and know that you’ll be there to receive the touch
but knowing that you’ll not be there
knowing that you are already gone
and not a word or an action i can say or do
will bring you back to where we once were
