Julie C. Gilbert - First Half of a Moment

Sunny days and starlight
Smiles and faces of friends held dear
Are locked within my mind
Bright and clear
I am terrified that one day
They will fade away
The last things I saw
A red light, a black car
Flying glass, and my own hands
Will be forever blazed into my mind
People complain their lives are so busy
They just want to slow down
Take a breath, and start over
Be careful what you wish for
For everything can change
In the first half of a moment
The last things I saw
A red light, a black car
Flying glass, and my own hands
Will be forever blazed into my mind
I wanted a change of pace
But this is crazy
How could I have known that
In the first half of a moment
In the space between heartbeats
My vision would be forever
Confined to what I remember
All is darkness and cold loneliness
Wish I could see the faces around me
Please don't cry
It hurts enough as is
All is strange and new
So daily, I'll replay the scenes
Sunny days and starlight
Smiles, and faces of friends held dear
