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.
