Time

I wanted to stop the time…
to return your voice,
that you could remember my smile,
that you could come back to our life…
that we could live our story…feigned…

Delay the clocks forty-two years…
recover your joy and youth…
travel forever by your side…
smelling your Southern scent…

But everything was only once…
everything already happened…
and will not return…
because like the waves on this beach…
no sand will ever be reached…
