The Sands Of Time… Poem by GHOST WRITER

Time seems against us
As the sand trickles slowly through the dial.
Keeping you away from me
As I close my eyes and picture your smile.
Turn the dial again
And watch the time pass through.
Missing you with all my heart
As I know you miss me too.
And as the grains keep running down
As slowly as can be….
Let time try to stall your return
As I long for you to be back with me.

Why does time pass so quickly when we are together
Yet when we’re apart it seems like forever?
How can a month feel like a year
When all I long for is to have you here?
Why does a week disappear when I’m with you
Yet when you are away a week seems like two?
Your return is what I so desperately seek
Yet the days seem so long it feels like a week?
How is it every hour is the same all year round
Yet seems so much shorter when you are here safe and sound?
Every second with you is a memory on its own
Yet there are still too many seconds until you return home?
Why is it that as we fall in love
We are torn apart by the heavens above?

Whilst we are apart for weeks at a time
You’re never far from my heart, knowing you’re mine.
And know I am yours with all my heart
No matter the distance or the time we’re apart.
The love we share I carry with me everywhere I go
And with every passing day that love does grow.

So let the Sands of Time keep falling,
One grain at a time.
Knowing I cherish every second with you
I am yours and you are mine…
Let the Sands of Time pass by
As swiftly as they do.
Let time try to steal you away
As soon I will be back with you.
Every stolen moment we share
Is a memory I hold so dear.
And love will float above all
As the Sands of Time draw near…
