Time Passes

Looking at you
Ripples of sadness climb up my back
like angry worms digging their way to the surface of their tin cup
not because looking at you makes me angry
but because I should be that girl standing next to you
the one with her hair up in ribbons wearing that fake smile
like she could ever understand you the way I did.
The way I still do.
Even though years have passed and you are no longer the you I once knew
Time passes and you don't even know it.
Just one day you wake up and your skin is gray.
You look in the mirror and all of your fears have come to blossom
the skin around your eyes have deep creeks
ones that you would think you would remember growing,
but time passes you by.
And before you know it you've lived your life.
With no knowledge of what you've accomplished.
A sadness sets in.
Because it's not fair.
Time passes us by. Time passes
We can't hit pause or the rewind button.
You look at your life and see that somethings missing.
That girl you miss every night when your sleeping.
Alone.
But she has moved on.
She no longer thinks of you or the things the two of you used to do.
She is married with a child.
She is happy and free.
Something you are just now realizing you will never be.
And her friends are true and she no longer dreams of you.
You are pathetic.
And time just passes you by.
Time passes
