Slowly Passing By (©ADG 3-19-2019)

The days go on and i'm still standing here
Time passes by day by day month by month
Years pass even tho it feels only moments ago
Sometimes it goes faster then you can keep up with

Slowly Passing by are the seconds
Slowly Passing by are the memories
Slowly Passing by my dreams begin to die
Slowly Passing by my hopes for love

Life's hard enough to live with out all the heartache
Times i just wanna give up and forget
But the moments continue to haunt me
Their truth revealed to me in new ways

Slowly Passing by are the happy feelings
Slowly Passing by are the guarantees i don't own
Slowly Passing by are many friends i used to have
Slowly Passing by are the times i wished for more

People come out the woodwork and back to my life
And the dummy in me thinks it will be different
Older friends in my life have new technicolors to show
But as always only after things i cannot give

Quickly passing by the days i feel truly unlovable
Quickly Passing by are the days the people dwindle
Quickly coming by are the days i'm done
Quickly coming by are days i give up and say bye
