Time

There comes a time,
a time in a life.
That time is great,
but filled with strife.

There comes a time,
a time in a love.
That time is confused,
but pure as a dove.

There comes a time,
a time in a heart.
That time is pure,
but tears apart.

There comes a time,
a time in the past.
That time was there,
but fled too fast.

There comes a time,
a time in the present.
That time was glimpsed,
but was transparent.

There comes a time,
a time in the future.
That time was wished for,
but will it be with her?
