Like Time In a Bottle

How time slips away in dreams both night and day the adventures of a lifetime lost paid in unmeasurable costs. Steps were taken without thought a glance to looking back at all it brought the blending mix of dissimilar souls aching to see what the future holds. Play a game with me recalling all the memories of this you and me we no longer know years disappearing in the paths we forgo. Nothing left but time to share locked in a bottle deprived of air with steps no longer heard but taken to the end of each heart's breaking. How time slipped away in the passage of life locked in a bottle's lost message never to be retrieved by love two hearts who only once believed.

That 'bottle deprived of air' is just a great image and analogy, D.M. This is so poignantly penned. Thanks! ~ Gershon
