Years elope with decades
In a moment they are gone
I grab the hours quickly
but I can never seem to hold on

I would write you an epic
if ever an epic there was
A storied life of grandeur
An adventure for the two of us

If only we could redeem the time
and brave the unknown inside
These two hearts so unrefined
But If only we could decide

I am lost on endless trails
searching out your smile
and looking for a hint at all
of any change in your denial

Break this fortress you have built
Tear down this wall and gate
Find a way past the guard
upon your heart you've placed

Moments come and go
Our feet fail to cooperate
Light the lantern and let me know
Don't let the time slip away
