~|:|~The Story of Us: Time~|:|~

I stare at the clock, several thoughts in my mind

Her hands ticking freely;

No chains

No binds.

For She has no limits, as far as I know.

She can move fast

Or She can move slow

If you were oblivious to what She could do

She'd move rather swiftly, just to please you.

But if you were aware of the time ticking down

She'd slow down her pace

Just to keep you around.

Of these types, you were the first, so sweet and carefree

You'd always smile, despite how bad things might be

You never once pondered how Time moved so quick

And instead, you moved with Her

Unaware of Her tricks.

I was of the second type, quite aware of her game

All day, I watched the clock, though it seemed to stay the same.

However, when it was just me and you,

A month seemed to pass in an hour or two

You kept me distracted, at least for a while

And I learned, for the first time, what it felt like to smile.

We spent many years living like this together

How silly of me to think it would last forever...

Time came back to play, feeling wronged and cheated,

And in turn, She took the one thing that I needed

I should have just kept watching Time tick away

For now that She took you...



That's all I do every day.
