Why?

Remembering those days before
I can not live them any more
I look back into my past
And wonder why time went so fast
I wish I could go back to then
And relive those times again

Why does life go by so fast
Why can't moments stay and last
Why do memories fade away
As your life goes by each day

I look into the setting sun
To see another day is done
Where did all the time go
Now how could I ever know
Just one blink of your eye
And then your life will pass you by

Why does life go by so fast
Why can't moments stay and last
Why do memories fade away
As your life goes by each day

    oh wow... you got me with your rhymes. Rhyming is really hard for me but here I think you've pulled it off!
    This is a reminiscence of the past and the future to be. An excellent topic which always touches me. I will now fade away as my life goes by each day...
    Great write.
    blessed be

    This is awesome. I have truly enjoyed the creativity. One critique would be to becareful with the way you put caps on the beginning of each line, it can make the lines appear choppy.

    Thanks for sharing this

    you captured "longing" so very well...

    the questions the poems asks really haunt the heart
    and memories with good quality imageries!
    for 15 you are writing with a good deep soul, fearless
    too! Good job dear poet, good job!
    many bold adventures await you, can't wait to read
    your poems!

    Nice poem, I like how it's message is very clear and precise. . .yet if you sat to think about it the thoughts that come whooshing in your head are endless. It's dark yet very simple and so so pure. Poems like that are special I think.

    Wow, the rhyming was amazing and I'm not a big rhyming fan, the emotion in this is spectacular. Keep it up.

    The flow, thanks to the rhyme and rhythm, is really good as well as thought-provoking. This'd make a good song, but it's a great piece of poetry none the less.
