OUR TIME (Couplets)

every moment

And so I looked at the sands of time
I saw every bit of sand falling down

Every bit that fell was my every tear
Each moment in time that you're not here

Our time was short and I can't resist
To plea and beg let me feel the bliss

I hoped for the nights that I closed my eyes
Because in my dreams I can see you smile

I wear my mask within each day
Showing my smile though you're gone away

Oh, our time, this time isn't ours for real
Wishing forever will I stand still?

When we are waiting for someone, we ask time to fly fast but when we are already with our loved ones we pray that time will freeze. So fickle-minded, aren't we? No wonder, time never listen to our pleas. =).
I guess, we learn how to seize the moment for we never know what comes ahead.

Thanks for the visit Gab. =)

This was very beautiful and thoughtful. Time can be a double edged sword. Sometimes we can't wait for it to pass and sometimes we just wish it would slow down. If only we could make up our minds xo Winter

Thanks, Winter.

Nothing makes time pass more slowly than longing for someone. Well presented and even your selected image seemed to fit perfectly.

[Dhaye]

Thank you so much, Eddie.

Forever is such a heavy word
But I will always believe...

[janzsuico]

Time indeed is one of the things that pressure us... but Time is one of the best healer of all the breaks and cuts! THis is marvelous Dhaye.

Time does not exist...just a unit measurement...you can turn the hour glass over and over again...yet the endearment to acquire the longing is quite a tedious task...

I could go to the edge of the solar system and back...I would not of age as much...but the person waiting for me would have withered more with standing still...

the motion of life keeps us going further...let the time go...all in due process...keep flipping the hour glass...and go with the nature of life...and not stand still...

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Glen.

"I hoped for the nights
that I closed my eyes
Because in my dreams
I can see you smile" - I know which dream you're talking about. The dreams that feel so real and great when you're in them but then make you so depressed when you wake up because they weren't real. Then you can't wait to go back to sleep in hopes of having the same kind of dream again.
Beautiful write, Dhaye! Good job :)

[Dhaye]

Thank you, Michael.
