it scares me how fast time goes
I could feel how close
my demise is getting
and that thought alone
is enough to engross me

it scares me how
I'm getting older
and yet less the wiser
getting older
but it's still you.
why can't I fathom
the depth of my love for you

Time slips away
like grains of sand,
Each moment gone,
beyond our hand.
The fear of death,
it grips my soul,
As life's sweet memories
take their toll.

I try to hold on,
to slow it down,
But time still slips away,
unbound.
As years go by,
I see it clear,
My youth is gone,
and death draws near.

I long to know,
to understand
The meaning of life,
its grander plan.
But as I age,
I realize,
There's still so much
I don't surmise.

And yet,
despite my fear and doubt,
My love for you
still shines throughout.
As time goes by,
my love just grows,
And that's one thing,
that nobody knows.
