Time breaks the rules like a mischievous child
When Mother isn't looking.
Moments stretch on forever.
In the blink of an eye, minutes disappear.
Just before dawn
when the first light is only a glimmer
I swear it reflects in your eyes brighter than the stars.
And though the moon's light wanes
I swear it left its glimmer in your hair.
Finally the sun breaks onto the horizon
And we're forced to admit the night is over.
Though the day is new
And brings with it endless possibility
It marks the end of what was
And will never be again.
