Has it been so fleeting, this time together?

It seemed like only yesterday

when you weren't a part of my life.

Laughter, tears, concerns and triumphs

were our new normal, so many good times

spent together. Stolen moments they were,

pieced together by our love and our needs,

our mutual want of someone to be there.

We found each other when we had no one

to turn to, no one who could understand,

no one who could hold our hands.

You held mine, and I yours as we

managed the rocky harbor and the dark clouds

and together we found serenity.

Time is our enemy, our foe who

seeks to pull us apart.

Time will win, it always does,

but I want to slow the clock,

delay the sand from running out

and live the perfect moment.

Hold my hand one more time, my friend.

Hold it tightly and guide me

to the safe harbor, for I don't want

this time to end.
