Time


Time is an enemy

Time is a friend

So I guess you could say that time is a frenemy

It gives you the extra seconds you need to tell someone you love them 

It takes away those last few seconds that you wish you had to say " i love you"

Timeless.

Timebound.

There is no beginning without an end.

Don't waste your time as it is precious and rare.

Don't worry though because you have plenty of time.

Seconds tick by without notice, yet years until we are adults seem to drag on. 

Now we are adults and time speeds up. 

We wish we could go back to the good ole' days.

Time.

Gone in the time it takes to breathe a single breath.

Gone in a second.

Gone in a minute.

Gone in a day, a year, a century

But the truth is, although time will go on...

our time on Earth is limited.

Don't take it for granted, 

for you will never get a time like this again. 

Cherish every second you get with the people you love. 

We are not promised tomorrow although the clock continues to tick, 

taunting us with the idea of tomorrow.

Live to your fullest.

Don't let time slip past you like a breath through your lips.

Grab hold of the time you have now and don't let go.
