"Seconds"
By David Tupper
Rewind
Seasons to months
Months to weeks
Weeks to days
Days to hours
Hours to seconds
Seconds..
It’s amazing what can happen in
Such few precious seconds
For one second you are you
By yourself
Just living life
You think your happy
You are happy to a point.
But deep inside your alone.
Just trying to reach an end
To get to the next step
Where you feel everything will come together.
Another second passes
She walks by
She looks at you
You stare back
Struck by the undertow of something real
Of beauty
Of something of meaning
And fullness
Another second passes
A second of a beginning
He does something silly
She laughs
You talk
Her voice like an angel
They drive to the beach
And walk the sands
Footsteps beside each other
Hearts hand in hand
Another second passes
The second of truth
He walks out
Into the ocean water
She follows
And he takes the chance
He pulls her under
They begin to dance
They go home
And in that night
They both scream yes
This is right
Another second is here
And they are in love
He knows this
For he sees it in her eyes
Her smile
The way she moves
With him under the harvest moon
They dance to the song
That they feel will never end
A timeless melody
That will always mend
For the seconds have passed
And the song has skipped
She falls from his arms
She lost her grip
He tries to catch her
As he dances alone
Waiting for the moment
That she will come home
In his heart
Which will never be far away
He just hopes she will come back and stay
He traces his footsteps back to the beach
Looks for footprints
For what they became
But the tide has rolled in
Along with the pain
He waits for the tide to move back out
Hoping the footprints are still there
Side by side
He hopes the melody will continue in time
For he is dancing
To the seconds left in time.

thanks
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!
