I've been thinking lately and I realized that we don't have much time Life can begin and end in a blink of an eye I've been thinking how fast time is going, and it's going too fast Savour those moments
Elementary school is here. You smile as you hold the hand of your best friend, swaying to the wind and running to the swings. ~ 5th grade comes and sets like the sun. You shed a tear as it crawls down your cheek, but you grin, shivering at the thought of huge eighth graders. ~ Middle school creeps around the corner as you close your locker. You wave to your friend and he lends you a pencil, already knowing you'll ask for one. You smirk, going on to your dreaded class, that you both hate, but he tells you you'll get through it together. We'll suffer together ~ You're in highschool. 4 years to prepare yourself to leave your parents who've known you forever. Stress builds up inside you while you think about college and prepare for the SATs. Your parents reassure you and tell you it'll be okay. They remember how it was. You can do it, you'll do amazing. You sigh with relief, thinking about your parents. Who've wiped ever tear and held you in their arms. ~ You're in college. You're on your own. You were excited about being alone, free from your parents. You were upset with them, and you said something you shouldn't have. What if something happened to them? The thought lingered around, trailing you like a shadow. You're 30. Your tear hugs the ground as you look up to see the casket of your beloved. You remembered their smiles and how joyful and excited they were for life. You can't grasp them anymore. You wish you could here their voices. You wish you could rest your head on their shoulders. They're gone. You'll never see them again. You're alone. You rise and set like the sun. Life is a bittersweet balance. Savour that treat, it can fall from your grasp as fast of a heartbeat. Appreciate everything. It'll be gone before you know it.
