Tick, says the clock;
Tick and beat her heart
One sec; tick her
Very life again.
Stop, yells my heart;
Stop one sec and quit
The ticking, for her
Heart now beats alone.
Please, go back one tick,
When her beats were
Ticks of both of our
Hearts, not just hers.
Ticking secs and time
Cannot go back, replies
The ongoing clock;
Ticks cannot go back.
Change a bit for once
And let me beat my heart
With hers just one more sec,
Oh, ticking clock; just once.
Not once; no ticks back!
But tick differently
This sec; apologize;
Beat again with her.
And ticks the ongoing life
One more sec, and I meet
With her and apologize, but
Our hearts don't beat together.
Just for once, oh, ticking clock,
Let my life go back two secs
So our hearts can beat along
Just one more time; just once.
Ticks the ticking clock
And beats her heart alone,
While one third sec goes by,
And in my heart, ticking stops.
