I held the sun but chased the rain,
Forgot the warmth, embraced the pain.
The fleeting light was mine to keep,
But I let it fade, lost in the deep.
A friend I loved, a dream I sought,
The moments passed, the battles fought.
Now shadows whisper where they stood,
Reminding me of what was good.
Time moves fast, we learn too late,
To guard the gifts we underestimate.
I’ve seen the price of what I've lost,
And vowed no more to pay the cost.
Regret has taught me what I should know,
That treasures fade when care doesn’t show.
But now I see, now I choose,
To hold on tight, not let them lose.
Before it’s gone, I’ll cherish the day,
Learn to love in a different way.
The hands of time won't steal my grace,
I’ll guard the joy, I’ll hold my space.
The clock won't wait, it’s ticking loud,
Each second lost is wrapped in cloud.
But now I’m here, awake, alive,
Ready to fight, to keep and thrive.
No more will I let moments slip,
Or hold my love with loosened grip.
The seeds I plant, the care I show,
Will bloom tomorrow; they’ll surely grow.
Before it’s gone, I’ll treasure it all,
Catch every star before it falls.
The hands of time won’t steal my grace,
I’ll guard the love, I’ll hold my space.
Mistakes I’ve made, they’ve shaped my heart,
But this is where the healing starts.
No turning back, no love misplaced,
The future calls; I’ll meet its face.
Before it’s gone, I’ll cherish the day,
Learn to love in a different way.
The hands of time won’t steal my grace,
I’ll guard the joy, I’ll hold my space.
Before it’s gone, I’ll treasure it all,
Catch every star before it falls.
The hands of time won’t steal my grace,
I’ll guard the love, I’ll hold my space.
