Time Must Pass

Her heart flutters as he pulls her aside
Saying he has a question to ask her
She thinks of what she would say as he pulls her inside
But all he asks is if there is something he can buy at the store she needs
In her mind she wonders why he has not asked,
Wondering if he is truly in love.
Since they met much time has passed,
And it seems time has flown like a dove.
Not long ago she had asked him when,
But he stated time must pass
There are bills to pay for both of them
And he feels they must be dealt with fast
A year more has passed and still no question
As she falls into bad health
He wants to ask but feels it a cruel notion
To dangle something so sweet with emotional wealth
He tells himself time must pass
She will get better and they will be wed.
He will ask her upon the parks cool grass.
But till then he waits by the hospital bed.
As time unfolds its cruelly dealt hand
Death comes swiftly by
And so next to her grave he stands
The rain hiding faces as eyes cry
And he holds the ring in his fingers
Looking upon the fresh dug earth
And there weeks later still he lingers
Asking himself what was his worth
For time had passed for his sweetheart
And he couldn't find the chance
For life's new beginning to start
And bring truth out of romance
As he dies lieing on the ground
Next to the cold gravestone
The ring he has kept for years in fists hes bound
Lies still in the grass, as he dies all alone
The last few mumblings of this broken being
Are his goodbyes to the earth, yet last
He states his love in last breath fleeting
Once and for all his time has passed.
