In the blink of an eye

We have become

Two different people

Who resemble those we once were…

 

And from behind all the years

That gave smiles and tears

We have both grown beyond

What we thought we could not.

 

The time might feel lost,

Yet the love has quite gained

Over peaks and the valleys

Of that which we made.

 

Through good times and bad

And across open seas

We have traveled along

Thanks by thanks, please by please.

 

We have no more quiet

And we’re never alone,

But in all the chaos

Peace will fight to be known.

 

And in this moment,

And for each moment on,

I have just one quest

From which others will spawn.

 

I feel soft, I feel weak,

I feel tested and torn,

My mind’s not my own,

Nor my body or home.

 

Yet I yearn and long still

For a gentler time;

A time that is ours,

And a time that is mine

 

So among all the whispers

And among all the cries,

What will it take… oh darling, my darling,

How can I be 25 in your eyes?
