Did You Ever Really Know

The minutes lunge forward, the days plunge fast. Months slip by so quickly, many years define our past. Will you remember me? Soft skin turns a blemish, tiny wrinkles begin to show. Our youth violently perishing, did you recognize or even know? Will you remember us? Health, wealth and wagers, placing all bets on love alone. With stakes too high to squander, this constant fear of the unknown. Will I ever reach you? Admiration, honor and devotion, always seems to come in last. Guilt, fear and destruction, destroying the finish line fast. Will you ever put me first? Be joyful, happy and merry, how do I find the will to be so? While years have gone, and our lives moved on, an empty void will forever grow. Did you ever really know?
