Time

Ever get that feeling
that no matter what you do
what you say
or what you think
that the world will keep on going
with or without you?
That no matter how hard you cry
or how much strength
is in you
that the river just doesn't stop flowing
that feeling
tears at me
because no matter how much I want
time to just stop
the clocks always keep ticking
seasons continue on
rainy days in spring
days filled with heat in summer
fiery colors in fall
snowmen and snowball fights in winter
but I just want it to pause
I just want this moment
to stay forever
but no matter
how hard I try
the world keeps on spinning
the sun rises
and sets
I just want to hold your hand forever
but thats impossible
and my heart
beats in protest
because I want the world
to stop
yet I feel like no one hears
why can't God grant me this one wish?
So that maybe
just maybe
I can stay in this moment forever
with you
holding your hand
