In the summer
Of our happiness
The time flowed ever onward
Treasured moments
Of impermanence
That brought us together
Never promises
Just things we’d try to hold to
In the autumn
Gathering small regrets
We tended the garden
Petals falling
Always coloring
Our vision in endings
Didn’t know what made you cry
Just a memory now
There’s nothing I can hold to
But I wonder why
As I keep on getting older
It’s forever days gone by
In the winter
Drawn in loneliness
You stood at the window
I could see you
Your fading silhouette
And then it was over
I was calling out your name
And it’s all gone now
There’s nothing I can hold to
Did I really try?
Were there things I should have told you?
Yes it’s all gone now
All I want to do is hold you
And I wonder why
As I keep on getting older
It’s forever…forever days gone by
In the springtime
Crouching in the rain
Among all the flowers
Beds of violets
And blooms of hyacinths
Recalling forever days gone by
