Time is not a constant—
It is a variable,
Always changing, fleeting, halting,
Never the same.
Things do not change—
Only time changes;
The moments last forever—
Life itself passes swiftly.
Too soon moments are only held in memory,
A memory no one else shares.
Time changes, carrying me to new places,
Carrying me to new people.
I may return to the places,
To the people I love,
But time will change.
You and I may stay the same,
But time cannot.
