Time Flies By

Riding bikes

The mall ahead

Wind and laughter

Words unsaid

Rebel heart

Young and wild

Freedom glowing

We just smiled

Time flies by

It slips away

Memories hold the fleeting day

I miss them all

I can’t deny

Time flies by

Oh

Time flies by

Grandparents’ house

The scent of pie

Stories shared as nights went by

Their wisdom echoed

Soft and deep

Now they're gone

I often weep

Time flies by

It slips away

Memories hold the fleeting day

I miss them all

I can’t deny

Time flies by

Oh

Time flies by

Scary fast

The years just run

Chasing shadows

Chasing sun

What we had

It won’t return

Yet these moments always burn

Time flies by

It slips away

Memories hold the fleeting day

I miss them all

I can’t deny

Time flies by

Oh

Time flies by

Whispers in the dark, fade away, fade away

Echoes of the past, they drift and sway

Left alone with my own thoughts, drifting in despair

Fading memories, remnants of a past once rare

Lost in the noise, now this silence cuts so deep

Unrecognizable streets, where shadows creep

How did I get here? This lonely yesteryear

Questions echo loud, drowning out the fear

Is this all that’s left? Or is there more to find?

A fractured soul, searching for a sign

Fading, slipping through my hands

Reaching for what once was grand

Can I find my way back home?

Or am I destined to roam alone?

This pain I carry, unspoken, unseen

Living in a forgotten dream

Oh, tell me, am I still alive?

In this endless, aching dive

Shattered illusions, broken and torn

Wondering if I'll ever be reborn

Questions linger in the midnight gloom

Seeking light to dispel the doom

Now left with just the shadow’s cry

Beneath the vast, uncaring sky

Is this what remains? Or can I still pretend?

Endings and beginnings blend
