Father Time,

Give to me another moment,

Another taste of a time long past.

A time when he promised

Me the stars, and gave them to me...

  and more.

Grant me my wish to feel,

To taste that one inch of time

When he was mine.

Give back to me that night

When you were on our side

And you were all we had.

Let me see with my eyes

Just once more

The outline of his silhouette

Against the midnight sky

As we danced to music

As timeless as love itself.

Please be bitter no longer

To my sorrow ridden heart!

Hand back to me those pieces of time

That you thoughtlessly shattered,

Pieces of time that are lost to me forever!

But, a pity, it must be this way.

I cannot retrace the paths

That were traced

With his fingers.

His memory is now

Just a fragment that sits

In the back of my mind.

And the whole of my heart

Begs for him to be released,

But it will not be so.

For in that one moment,

That brief interlude

When you, Father Time,

Were my friend,

You struck a bargain:



You took away from me

That moment,

And now you alone are

All I have.
