Has time ever stood still for you?
Written by Lost in a Dream
Frozen in that moment,
Time was standing still
The foreign familiarity of an old song
Forges a link
Between then and now.
The lyrics were hardly profound;
Yet, they seemed perfect at the time.
Now, the individual words are insignificant.
They didn’t sum up how I was feeling,
I doubt I entirely understood them
Five years ago.
But I remember singing them out
With conviction.
Time locked in lyrics and
Memories trapped in chords were free.
I had the privilege of indulging in the past.
Just for a moment, that memory came alive again.
It was as though nothing had changed.
