In Time

I have been pondering for a while
Of petty things that took me a thousand miles
The thought of you gave me a smile
Swept away this thing they call black bile

You were once a stranger I know nothing of
As time goes by your mysteries unfold
You became someone I would rather hold
Than leave on the cliff hanging alone

Divulged to me of what you feel
Felt your passion, I know it's for real
Though words, merely written and not spoken
Flown to me like they were softspoken

The zest that you give, I hope it won't last
But time seems to be ticking so fast
Do I need to worry or just stay at ease?
Cause your presence it seems to keep me in peace

I find it hard to see what I really feel
But you've been in paintings I do paint in a while
Been in songs that I try to write
I believe this is something that is right

The mystery seems to lie inside of me
I may have caged something that is unsettling
Cause I have always been keeping things out of sight
Trying to suppress things with all my might

I may or may not have been a torment
But it seems to be haunting, creeping back to me
Yet I chose to keep these baffling feelings
Undistorted view I seek, it might take some time, bear with me

I guess time isn't my friend
But dreams do exist, it is where I can mend
Things that seem to be in restrain
Then this, I hope, forever will remain

My heart did not see yours out of pity
Confused of what I feel or is it just your company?
I find it arduous to express myself freely
Can't seem to find the words that will match my feelings

I am not yet prepared to write a vow
But I simply want you by my side somehow
Believing in fairytales, will you hold your breath for me?
Or am I being selfish, asking for too much; do you agree?

Should we let go of the red balloons we held and stray?
Should we act like this is nothing and continue our old ways?
Or should we let this feeling grow or die as time flies?
These are some of the questions that linger in my mind
Still I am patient for what answers lie behind
