Time & You

Time. An unfathomable concept i cannot seem to grasp my hands around. Ticking, the clock continues to move forward, even when you tell it to stop. It does not listen; it does the exact opposite. I would like to think of time as a friend, a friend who once knew all my deepest secrets and held my hand through it all. However, as I tried to branch out to reach my own potential, they fled. Just as time does. Time is like water. You can hold it in your hand, but with every step, more falls through the cracks. Friend, I love you as I love the ocean. I will never stop loving you. However, as time progressed, you were moving quicker than I, and I began to drown us both. In turn, this only dragged you down deeper than you had ever previously been. And, I am sorry. But, eventually you let go of my hand and we drifted worlds apart. In the beginning, I was sinking. I was lost, scared, insecure, and everything else this world has to offer. However, there was still a spark in me that knew once I resurfaced,I would be able to reignite. This was the sole spark that kept me going. I like to think I was able to move on because by watching you fly on your own, I would be happier. And, this is true. Seeing you soaring new heights, being all around happier, is all I could ever wish for, and more. However, there was something missing in my internal happiness. You. Just as time falls through my hands, you did also. But, I cannot sit around waiting for more time, or trying to change the past. Time is fleeting before my very eyes. My hand will always reach out to catch you if you fall. And, my friend, despite everything, I love you with an everlasting love. Forever & Always.
