Book of Time

I would close the book of time if I could. That should make every yesterday and tomorrow today. If only that could take away the pain and its memories. It would force me to face the reality of now to accept it as it is nothing more, nothing less, only now. That would still leave your life here drawn around and sharing mine. Closing the book of time could not erase what was between us. If only that were possible to take away the heartache that remains. It should be less painful being left behind to living without you knowing you will never return today. Then let us close the book knowing there is no stopping time. Time is ever moving forward marked only by our lives as lived There the memories and love survive without us. There they will always be alive forever, marked in time.
