If love be only for an instant, let not the heart grieve forever

If the clock winds hastily, the thought should only dwell a moment

But like the shadows of day, it lingers until nightfall

Disappearing and returning at daybreak

What we’d give to hide from spoken lies and half-hearted truths

Words uttered from within, hidden cleverly with the tongue

A chance to save-face and quell a raging spirit

Beautifully conveyed like a heartfelt lyric
