In This Fleeting Moment That Won't Return

What we took for granted fades before our eyes,

A truth that visits every life in time.

"You’re a strong one," they softly say,

I smile and whisper, "Thanks," that day.

No reason left to keep on trying,

No place to speak the pain I’m hiding.

Alone, I carry what won’t show—

If only words could let it go.

In this fleeting moment that won't return,

I just want to say, “Thank you,” and let it burn.

When hearts reach out and softly meet,

This tender time is pure and sweet.

To have you near was never promised,

To be loved—no given solace.

Tomorrow will reveal the truth

We never dared to face in youth.

Tears strike chords within the soul,

Flowing hot, beyond control.

The truest words I’ve ever known:

“Thank you”—from the heart alone.

In this fleeting moment that won't return,

I just want to say, “Thank you,” and let it burn.

When hearts reach out and softly meet,

This tender time is pure and sweet.
