time flies by just as slow as it drags out.

waiting can be freeing, or it can be filled with doubt.

one month can begin and before you realise, it’s done,

now it’s just a faint memory of all of the fun.

time can hold sadness, worry and fear,

trying to survive the days without shedding a tear.

time can hold love, excitement and pleasure,

filled with life long memories that you will treasure.

at times you can feel scared and all alone,

but when you reflect on time, you see how you’ve grown.

you see, our time on this earth is not definite,

infact, i believe, our time is quite delicate.

so now in the hard times, i no longer wish they’d pass in an instant,

instead i become present, because i know they’ll soon be distant.

a distant memory of all that i once felt,

this is my journey, and the cards the universe dealt.
