Never Slows Down
Like dandelion fluff
that’s been blown by
the wind, it floats away
never to return again.
We expect it to be there,
so we don’t always show
how much we care. We hold
back the words we would say
if we knew it was all
going to change, and
we forget all that can
happen in just one day
It’s like the message
written in the sand.
Before it’s complete
it’s washed away in
utter defeat.
It never slows down
and it never seems
to ensure what
matters to you will
always be around.
It’s always here, yet
always gone and
like a night’s dream
it doesn’t stay long
I didn’t plan on you
changing your mind,
but I guess that’s why;
like the dandelion fluff
never to return and
the dream that doesn’t
stay for long, Time
doesn’t always linger for
us to understand what we
have before it’s gone.
