The world is spinning out of control
Time seems to be slipping away
The days too short
The nights shorter still
Time with you is precious
But terribly finite
And before long I know 
The seconds will be exhausted
And again it will be only me
I'll be alone with a stranger
Someone I never took the time
To get to know
And by myself I'll try to 
Put the pieces of my life back together
Create some semblance of a good life
But no matter what I do
There will always be a hole in my heart
A chasm I'll never be able to bridge
Try as I might
But in time the pain will soften
The emptiness will become less lonely
And someday I'll think of you and smile.
