Lorentz deformation properties of the covariant Bethe-Salpeter wave function are studied and compared with those of the covariant harmonic oscillator wave function. Space-time and momentum-energy diagrams are constructed and compared with those of the oscillator wave function. It is pointed out that the Lorentz deformation property of the Bethe-Salpeter wave function shown on these diagrams is strikingly similar to that of the oscillator wave function from which a physical interpretation can be derived for the time-separation variable between constituent quarks inside the hadron.
