Rain - One Second

Rain - One Second

There is a second that I long for, that isn’t meant to be.
This second exist only where it is meant to flee.
Just one second where I can believe whatever I want
A tiny little second when you do not say: “don’t”

I’ve experienced everything I’d ever dare I would
But why do I long? I’d never thought I should.
In fact I thought that I would be happy right here
But for one second I want it all to disappear.

I want to let my thoughts fly for just one second
For just one second that no one would ever record
This one second that only I would remember…
Under the starry sky, one night in December.

Yet the seconds past all the time, going into nowhere
I just want my own second to be right here (tick)
So I can feel what it feels to have it, just one time
Is it so much to ask for? A second that I can call mine.

So the clock ticks away, letting my second turn silent.
But if I’ve had it, I’ll know that I’ve lived a life well spent.
