Slipping away from my grip, like sand from a tight fist
Moving on, vanishing in this winter mist
Hands that have long ago retracted from those wrists
Burning away the treasured memories list.

Letting go everything held
Ticking hands indicating the approaching end
Let the silence reign the kingdom
Slowly, seep the words of wisdom
Though it hurts now, we'll overcome
Together this winter, let go of our problems.

Let peace prevail in place of those constant rants
About everything and everyone, you always nag
Not a wish that Santa can grant
Cause what's gone, can't be back.

To hold onto was never a choice
Cause some people are winged, never obliged
Let's move on for everyone's good
This winter, let's forget our reasons to brood.
