The clock seems to stop
Slowly the ticks lag behind tocks
Slowly they pull each other apart.
I then notice this
as I am taking my route
to see you now.
The clock follows me
And as soon as I knock on that door,
Loose all my hair
And jump up those stairs
Into your arms
Always waiting there.
You kiss me some time
On my forehead
My lips
Telling me
Those sweet sweet little things
And then suddenly I hear that innocent sound
Of the time coming round
I hear that clock ticking
Still pretty slow
But not as slow as a moment ago
It’s getting faster I fear
Day’s drawing near
And sadly I look up into the blue of your eyes
And I think about how I like
When days turn into night
And night into day
By the pier how we sway
And you look at me
Holding me tight through the breeze
And we make a face
And sigh into space
This is it
Love how it feels
And suddenly
I
Can’t wait to see
What tomorrow yields…
Oh but sad sad day
When the night has turned into day
And that clock starts ticking
The tick after tock
The same pattern I know
And I am forced to leave
That lingering kiss
Apologizing
For the stupid time
I gotta hurry
Oh my
I’m gonna be late
I backup the car
Slide into drive
And suddenly
It’s 11:11 o’clock
I smile up at you
You already know
We make that wish
That one day soon
I don’t have to leave.
