Wait For Me
Location
Time waits for no one
So I keep moving forward
But if I had a choice, I would shout with my voice
"Oh, time, please wait for me!"
Then Time would look back and smile
And slow down as I walk
So I could stop and talk
To a stranger on the street
Laying on concrete
Holding steadfast beneath my feet.
Time would pause within himself for moments
Moments would become eternal
So I could cherish those around me
Give a little something more than just some change to the poor
Everyone always seems to be in such a rush
But we find time to plant those minute seeds
Just to feel redeemed for our selfish schemes
We dwell on that single good deed
Thinking if only I had more time to dedicate
I would take that time to become
What I know I could be
If only I could change one thing
Even if it were just once,
Time would wait for me
And if he could, he would wait for simple things
He would pause long enough
For me to stop and pet a mutt
Roaming about aimlessly, as we all often do
Looking for someone friendly
He would stare at me from beneath his coat of
Soft matted fur knotted by dust and dirt
He would smile back at me
And best friends we would be
But I don't have the time
See if I could change one thing
Time would
Never start
Never stop
The hands would never tick tock on a clock
And I would spend my endless minutes wandering about
I'd never again worry
About my class essay being due at a quarter to ten
Because time would be endless
I would be endless
How beautiful would that be
to never need free time because time is free
To lay in the arms of my lover forever
To gaze into his eyes knowing no one could love me better
But I can’t find my lover,
Because he can’t find the time
But just imagine if time never passed
The first kiss would be the same as the last
Our love would persist forever
The nuances of our affection
Would warp and wrap themselves around us until we give in
And there would be no
Goodbye or hello
Or burying the only love I know
6 feet down below
I may be just a dreamer
And it's about time that I realized
Time waits for no one
But if I could change one thing
I’d ask time to would wait for me
