Your smile; sweet! But late.
Your touch; fires nothing.
You can get a hug,
For to embrace is past time.
If only the date is yesterday
For today has overtaken you.
While you waited for tomorrow.
Another seized today.
Your call’s genuine
That I know
I’ll still shake my head
‘Cos its past time.
You can call Jesus
But Lazarus rose and moved on
This is simply favour’s course
Better still: While men slept…
I can promise – friends forever
But forget the rubicon.
For another has crossed over
Just be a brother
Lay to rest the other
And so be it.
Don’t throw me not the guilty card
You had your chance
‘Should have asked for a dance
I even played Ruth
You just kept fumbling with Boaz’s garment.
Its past time Gentleman
My hand’s aren’t tied
I just let them loose
In the palms of another
Look to the next passerby
For me is forever gone for good!
