River

Time is a river

and I am on the bank

It flows next to me

but I do not get wet

I do not get swept away

I am a rock, thrown into the water

doing nothing but causing ripples

and sinking to the bottom

I have a love

they are in the river

I see them, they see me

I affect them, they leave me unaffected
