Father Time and I played what seemed to be this harmless game of hide and seek
I never knew how well he played
So here I was losing track of time
Trying to find time
Only to get lost in time
Reminiscing of the last time
That you and I spent and shared time
Together, oh how sweet that time
Here I am again spending time
Wishing it was that time
Now each second away from you ticks in my heart like Big Uncle Ben minute hand
Carving craters in my heart only to be filled by minutes that I miss you
Minutes colliding into hours like meteors to planets
Days without you make us feel lightyears apart
Oh how I loathe just the thought of missing you
I long for the moments I had to just study the outlines of your eyes
The laughter of your smile
The giggles of your run
The joy of your tickles
I hate having to miss you!
But I can still feel your embrace like it was just this morning
Who knew Father Time hid within the hollows of your open arms
Tucked away in the depressions of your elbow and underarm
Waiting to cradle me as if for the last time
Time ceases when your arms constrict my neck
Nothing else matters but this embrace
So I hold on for dear life
Sucking up every second Father Time allows
Bottling up every moment that your patience can handle
Until you kiss me as you push me away
Oh what wisdom God has sewn into those lips
For with every stitch He’s equipped them to heal these craters of pain
One kiss upon cheeks
Calms the storms of life I face
Your lips are Heaven
Holy and divine
Angelic, sweet and kind
Planting kisses on cheeks with precision and tact
Like God hanging stars strategically against the black
To tell stories, give direction and light the night
Love is truly blind but somehow you manage to give me light
You’re my north star on nights I soak pillows with tears
And with a moon as bright as your heart who has time for fears
See here I go again
Losing track of time
Trying to find time
Only to get lost in time
Reminiscing of the last time
That you and I spent and shared time
Together, oh how sweet that time
Yet again spending time
Wishing it was that time
Still playing hide ‘n seek with Father Time
But with you I win every time
These arms are my base
Olly olly oxen free
