Time

Time will change the way we look         
the way we speak and how we act         
time will change our state of mind       
and the places we once knew as home     

time will take away our safe zones
take away our escapes and leave us lost
time will take away our friends 
and everyone we love the most

time will take away my pride
steal my control, steal my sanity
time might even take you away
the one person i hold the dearest

time might just be cruel enough
to let me love and attach to you
and rip it apart in the blink of an eye
but there is one thing time cannot change

time will twist the words 
destroy our dreams and steal the joy
time will bring back the painful parts
and pull us into darkness

all this that time can do
but what time will never be able to
it can't take away our happy memories
or my love for you
