In The Mirage

I run after time and it goes
A few steps further away

When I try to catch it slips
Out of my loosen grip

I howl in the void and it echoes
The voices becoming distinctive

I came around you and it stopped dodging
To my surprise I could hold it tight

In the moment it felt real
As real as it gets around here

I tell myself it's not surreal
In this mirage, it's not a mirage!
