Seconds left

last seconds

By Nathaniel TerrellPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Back in the day you and I would often promise forever

Sadly, forever was a beautiful lie

Some bonds grow so deep that it defies logic and odds

Some bonds through pressure and circumstance become undone

There are also bonds that were shattered and after its demise, its memory haunts in the name of love

Was it an obsession, deep connection or do I truly love you?

It is an awful shame that we haven’t corresponded in years

But life is life and to my deep regret our brief space in time ended long ago

Besides the Meteorologists prediction I don’t know much about tomorrow

All the magic in the world can’t bring me back to yesterday

This very moment, you dance in my thoughts

I smile while enjoying the last seconds of a song that we used to be so fond of

And I am perfectly fine with being haunted by a beautiful lie
