"And it finally Dawned on me" she said with a smile..."My heart beats in time with love." After all, timing is everything...

Timing is everything... It's what they say. It's what I've been told time and time again and it's the same thing I've told others. Because it seems to be true.

Too little too late... There's another one.. Is that as true?

It feels that way.

Why does the wrong person always seem to say the right words when you need it?
Or maybe the right person just says them when it's too late...

Timing.

Change.

And now everything's different and the words that where once so right, once the only things you wished, wanted, needed to hear, are wrong. Out of place. Too late. And your past is there suddenly stepping back into your present, trying to claim you, desperately throwing life lines to the dead. Hoping to breathe love back into the heart of something that was once so painfully and beautifully alive, but now no longer beats.

Certain songs, snowfalls, the smell of warm sugar and the chill of cloudy days. All things that pulled me in. Things that used to hold me in the moment, in the memory, make me smile , even weep, now just leave me somber, stoic. They don't live in me anymore. They're just pretty headstones for what once was, for their too little too late, and only exist to serve as a reminder to me that timing is everything.

To remind me once more that now, it's time to let go. Time to look forward, not back.

Time to open my heart to hope, to promise, to tomorrow and everything it brings with it.. .

"Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love

And everyday
I'm learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them..
And leaving without them.

And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I'm ready
As long as you're with me

Being
As in love with you as I am.
Being
as in love with you as I am.
Being
In love, love, love..."
