Our paths seem so close As if they were meant to merge and cross But trees and other vegetation had grown. The stars seem so perfectly aligned But there's one star out of place. Slow realization has shone through Like sunshine coming through a crack between blackout curtains in a room. The realization that time wasn't quite right. On paper, We would deem ourselves perfect. People so destined for success A path so visible and clear That we could walk on without any fear. However, Time is a monstrous villian Just like the ones from fairytales. The villians we feared as young children Makes it reappearence. Our clocks are set at different times The ticks don't move in sync. I think you forgot to move your clock back for daylight savings While I accidentally moved mine forward. This loss is one I won't be able to forget And I hate that we fell victim to the test of time Unable to prevail. But maybe one day we will get it right; Maybe our paths will get close once more And hopefully then Our clocks will move in sync.
