Change

The tears that have slipped past
Without noticing anyone else
The smiles that have flashed past
Without noticing anyone else
Everyone else seemed too busy

Wrapped up in their chocolate wrappers.


Tomorrow came and went
The past swayed on its precarious foot
Even today's slipping by fast
Without noticing anyone else.
Who else has to but do the job of keeping everything at bay?
Precious people and moments are the cost
For keeping it sane everyday.
They dined quietly now.
They slept quite well.
They walked in silence.
They stared into space.
His friends took him home.
Her friends let her stay.
He didn't mind the loneliness.
She kept planning what to say.
