Stop the Clock

Your hair's a little longer now. Your laugh's a little softer

too. I swear I miss the in between. The seconds flew.

The moments few. I'm chasing days that slip like sand. But time won't

stop. It won't expand. Stop the clock. Hold it still. Let me catch

this spinning wheel. I'm losing you to days I miss. Stop the clock,

I can't resist. The drawings on the fridge are old. Your crayons traded

for your phone. I blink and you're a world away. A stranger in

your childhood's place. I'm trying hard to hold the line.
