My Time

Suddenly you are
all around me
Why, all these years
where did you flee

Back then, I ruled
It was all my play
never knew you
you had no say

Then we met, you
quietly held my hand
Smiled and did a waltz
of catch me if you can

Fleetingly I thought
You were for my sake
all was figured out and
world was mine to take

Then life took over
I lost you somewhere
You quietly rolled on
and I thought I didn’t care

Life was set in
an automated pace
you ticked in just when
it was too much to take

let me this once
decide the line
Let me this once
manage you, Time
