Every Day's a Little Life

Every day’s a little life
Separated from tomorrow
No more days of muted strife 
Ageing dilutes my sorrow
Time goes faster, I slow down
Living in the past that moves
But you cannot be around
Like you were, in our youth
That passed by before our eyes
Like a butterfly in August
Fluttered off, but still it flies
In the memories I trust
You said look, and there I saw
The green field was stretching out
Like a hundred years before
Maybe more, I didn’t count.
