The Passage of Time

When the breeze of Autumn comes,
I'll forget all things that were mine once.
When the leaves turn from green to yellow,
I'll forget our first moments, our first Hello.

As the wind starts to shriek
And the skies start to cry,
My life will be so dark, it'll be so bleak.
The tears streaking down my face will refuse to dry.

When the flowers awaken
From the deep sleep they've taken,
My heart will begin to mend.
Very soon my suffering will come to an end.

As I start to move forward,
Summer will set in.
I might find a new friend, a new lover
And no longer think of what might have been.

When I realize time has marched on,
I'll have to accept you are gone.
But even though you are no longer here
I, forever and always, will hold you dear...
