Dusk

It was one of those times
When time belongs to no one
Not to you, not to me
But to the past
As soon as it happens.
Life rushes by you
Like sand through your fingers
Water through a strainer
From the faucet to the drainer.
A journey with old friends
When you were still young men
Nostalgia for the present
Add tears and mix
Instant memories
Never broke, never fixed.
Still there's that pit
You can't help but feel
When you know the ones you love
Right next to you
Will soon be remembered.
Not lost, not replaced
But a memory yet displaced
By the reaches of the heart
Exceeding its grasp.
Like the last gasps
Of the quiet song
I sang for you.
I cried for me,
And for all the sunsets,
No two alike
Never seen
By us.
