So Much Time


I'm scared that there's so much time and not enough all in one second.

Time is so many things in one.

It can be short, like a sweet kiss,

or long like a painful stomach ache.

Time can hurt, physically or emotionally.

Time can smell like your grandmothers favorite perfume.

Time can be the taste of a cassarole that your mother made.

Time gives people a purpose, a drive.

Time can drive people into a dark hole of insanity.

there's so much time and not enough all in one second,

that a person who cannot count the hours will never know the value of a single second.

There's so much time...
