You Beat Me Well

I didn’t see you there. Always present, always home. Your continual fixed stare on our lives, on our dreams, on our hopes. You fitted in so clean. Always present always home. I didn’t see you there passing quietly, silently, passing ever so slow. Time, you beat me. You beat me well. I see you recorded in our history, in the photos of our past times. I can’t believe that was me, so young, so free and now I realise. Time, you know I know you. Time, in our partnership of this life I know that you ain’t and never were the fool. Time, you know that I know that you’ll wait for no one… no matter what they’ve said or what they say or what they do, or what they’ve done.
