Description

I found a time machine

of this I must be sure

or something near enough

to allow me

a few more moments of happiness.

I found a time machine

of this I must hope

else my bed has played

a cruel trick on me.

I found a time machine

of this I believe

every time I close my eyes

I see you there beside me

your happy smile radiating

the joy you gave to me .

I found a time machine

this I know is true

and though it only lasts the night

disappearing once reality

decides to yet again curse me,

I want to find a way to keep you

to shelter you from the past

that stole you away

and return you to my future,

to my present,

to my heart.

I found a time machine

to give me what I can't let go

but it only works for me

of this I've come to know

so since I can't bring you

to the present where you belong

I stay in the past

relieving every smile

every tear

and every frown

until the time

my present finally accepts you.
