Things Change
(Linda Mertens)
Seems like only yesterday
This world belonged to me
And breathing in your presence
Was evident to me
Hours filled with words
Now silence takes their place
Each time I took for granted
The nearness of your face
I used to touch
And I used to feel
I used to think
That time would heal
Once you were near
But now out of range
I used to love
But things change
Seems like only yesterday
This heart knew what to do
As if it’s only purpose
Was beating just for you
Things I could have said
I never had a chance
Like sandgrains from a distant shore
You slipped right through my hands
