Love Poem: When Life Is Lived

When Life Is Lived

When life is lived 
Through an hourglass of time 
When life is bounded 
By the watchless eyes of mine 
When life is grounded 
On a whim that nobody saw 
You can tell it was there 
All along 
I’d give it all 
Just to be there one more time 
But like this life 
You can never press rewind 
And oh, it flees 
And I watch it slip out of my hands 
I never saw it 
I never was even there
