Something makes one wonder,
an urge makes us ask
for answers to deeper questions
'neath coverstones of our happiness;
and we thrash and rashly assign
blame to everything around the mirror,
until life brings its grim reflection
unavoidably to our eyes.
Love has touched nearly everyone
such number have taken it for a given
until gone, then in its absence
we have dear choices, something in us
makes us wonder...
where time has flown
as if we were not there
watching clocks and calendars
and lovers walk away,
wishes of a lifetime gone in an hour
replaced by something newer; fewer
days lie ahead than behind realized
happiness should not be delayed
and yet we struggle to find
the answers we already know
by asking the same questions
in new ways or fresher days,
poor progress; needless wonder
upon hazy truths
and things carefully kept in shadows.

Awesome!
"fewer, days lie ahead than behind realized"
That was my fav. part - like a sounding bell to your consciousness (also the second meaning in "realized" - made to be what you had intended - subtle & effective).
The ending is way hot! And yes, I agree...
Thank u 4 this well portrayed piece! ^^

There were so many thoughts that ran through my brain when I read this..
And read it again and again.. grinning.. But I also had the thought of time marches on..
And love endures..

More than just wondering, this is to many people a sad truth.
Very good poem
