Only a matter of time

It surprises me
every time

I try to tell myself
the obvious,
the things I see
but
I don't truly believe it

I am waiting
for you to run
I am waiting
for you to
quit

You might come back,
they always do,
but I don't
expect you
to always stay by my side

They never do,
at some point
they leave

Some people,
however,
seem to linger

I don't really know why
and it is
just a matter of time
(that is the truth
that
beats through my heart)
they will fall behind
or run past me

no one ever stays
no one ever stays
(beat by beat)
no one ever stays
