Fading
Making dinner for one again Seconds feel more like minutes
Searched my whole life as they pass
for my best friend No one visits you or calls your phone
And as the sun brings up Had my chances
another day but it didn't work for me, alas
I know deep inside
it'll end the same way Searching back
In the night I still reach out for you through moments in time
But wake alone At memories
Sometimes life is so cruel and long forgotten dreams
Had my chances but I chose to leave My chances came
Lost my chance at love very close sometimes
With the only soul who believed But reality's not always all it seems
Through the years life
Searching back was sometimes great
through moments in time Bittersweetness though
At memories as nothing would last
and long forgotten dreams Now into life's fading years
My chances came I've sealed my fate
very close sometimes But no regrets now
But reality's not always all it seems for my broken down past
Through the years life
was sometimes great Time passes
Bittersweetness though and things are still the same
as nothing would last Fond memories
Now into life's fading years of how things could have been
I've sealed my fate Often catch myself
But no regrets now Calling out your name
for my broken down past I smile briefly as I realize I dream
Carry on with my journey
Sitting waiting for the phone to ring through life
Or the post to come Choosing to be alone
Or the door to knock Through my years
As the day passes Could have been very different
cl;ose to noon it brings as a wife
Realization I move through life silently
That I'm watching the clock Always drying my own tears
Time goes slowly
When you're all alone Jane Shields (C)
