Three Seconds Lost To Time

Three Seconds Lost To Time Three seconds lost to time A short time to most An eternity to others Asked for a kiss I froze Stood there silently wondering what to do It was a kiss I hoped for Dreaming about it night after night The kiss had to wait The words of love flowed from you So many times I heard those three words I wanted to tell you but I couldn’t That kiss would have shared my feelings If only I had given you the kiss you asked for Just three seconds so many years ago How did they change my life? I will never know So many seconds have passed since then So many kisses So many I love yous spaced over the years Thinking back I miss those three seconds Missing what they could have preordained Wondering what that kiss could have meant Alas those seconds are lost Gone, taken by the Fates Given to someone else who would value them I can only think back and wonder What would those three second have meant in my life But that is all I can do…wonder
