Timeless

You could’ve written your story any way

I never understood why it had to slip to tragedy

Sometimes I imagine who you’d be today

Oh, what tangled webs are weaved in travesty

Memories succumbed to the elements

But I could never shake a feeling

I find some peace within my sentiments

But accept there’s no linearity in healing

Time flies when you have no other choice

I’ve gone everywhere except your grave

I used to swear I’d never forget your voice

Now I know moments can’t be saved

These days, I try so hard to stay present

Sometimes I fear I’m missing the capacity

But now I feel fear without adding resent

And I move forward with tenacity

Time flies when you have no other choice

I’d go anywhere except your grave

You’re not there, you’re in my voice

Still teaching me how to be brave
