Time Marches On

Time Marches Forward Our relationship is done we can no longer continue. The hands of time have stopped for us. It is too late to turn back the clock. For a while we had great fun. But the ticking clock marked the denouement of our time together.

Congratulations Oliver! Your ending was abrupt. It left me wondering. Couldn't the clock be repaired? Maybe it just needed a change of batteries...

I'm with you, Oliver ... it just seemed so harsh. The romantic part of my brain was looking for a way, not to go back ... because time moves in one direction, but to regain the love which was lost somehow. Idk.

Thanks Trina. The love between the two of them was gone so time for them together ceased.

Great piece. Such stoic acceptance of the end and acknowledgement of time's unrelenting march. Leaving lovers in it's wake. Beautiful.

Sadly it wasn't meant to be, time for both parties to try and move on. Tom
