Regret

If I thought I had the strength to say it
I'd say I'll always love you.
If I thought I had a voice to sing it
I'd sing of moments passed and days gone by.
But for right now in this moment
There's no question for my mind to simplify
It's enough to wonder why

Days gone by as swift as roses
Fade into the sunset and close at night
Lives we lived and dreams forgotten
Away from dancing in the light.

What fight is there now in us?
What fight from what will be?
It has passed into oblivion
Never more shall we fully see

Time echoes down eternity
It knocks and passes through with sweet cruelty
A drum-beat in the dark sky of infinity
To You the blink of an eye
But each of our breaths held in Your hand like precious jewels
Breathless in wonder of this marvel
We fall on our face in humility
