Only remembered in a memory.

[notfarbutnear]

i sat on my bed just watching the clock 5:33, 5:36, 5:40, 5:44, and i thought about time. Everything is measured and based on time. It will only be 5:44 p.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2003, for a few more seconds and it will be gone forever, only remembered in a memory. Seconds turn to minutes. Minutes turn to hours. Hours to days. Days turn to weeks. Weeks to months. Months to years. Closer and closer to death. Every second that passes by. That's why we are always in a hurry i assume. We stress ourselves out for superficial reasons. When we should be enjoying every breath and every second. Taking everything in. No one realizes this until the time is gone and there is no going back. No turning that hand on the clock counter clockwise. What's done is done. The time keeps ticking. And there is no turning it back or holding it still. So i just sit here and watch as it continues to turn and i wonder who has died at this moment, who was born, who this all affected. Everything happens so fast and there is no slowing down from here. Every day it gets faster and faster. Before you know it time will catch up with you and eventually pass. There is no catching up. Its already gone.
