Coming Around Again

You can see it changing subtly as the seconds tick slowly past.

Minute changes hardly noticeable in the sweep of a day, and you know that what you once had is gone forever.

But you still cling to the memory of it in the forlorn hope that there may just be a chance that it comes around again.

And somewhere, in the back of your mind you can hear Carly Simon singing that old song.

I know nothing stays the same, but if you're willing to play the game...

And you realise that life is not that kind, there are no tooth fairies, and that your love is gone.
