Lit by Carlamaria Rutter 11th July 2012
Time is closing in on usQuicker than I would have wanted it toI tried to make the moments lastBut still they slip awayDay by dayHour by hourMinute by minuteOur time together lessensWith each tick of the clockThe day,The moment I have fearedFor months nowContinues to draw closerSoon I will be sayingGood-byeSaying good-byeTo someone I loveWith every inch of my soulWatching you leaveAs I stand cryingThere is nothing more I can doNo more time I can savorNo more hugs to drag outNothing leftExcept timeAnd distanceA long and lonely stretch of highwayThat separates our loveNow it is summerand I must waitI count each dayuntil the moment.Where I can see your face againand feel your arms wrapped around meas we sleepTogether as oneSaying good-bye is never easybut one must always rememberthat good-byedoes not mean foreverand there will come a timewhen again we can sayHello.Elina I love you so so much baby girl xxxxx
