I wish I had more time

time passes by so quickly
sometimes I wish it would slow down

one day it's a random day in February
the next moment I think about it
it's already become November

I find myself looking back on the past
a lot more than I find myself in the moment
reflecting on all the time that has gone by
rather than living and enjoying what is

I want to be present and happy
with what's going on right now
but I can't find it in me to do so
not without thinking about how quickly
it will all turn into a faraway memory one day

I worry about it a lot
these thoughts come to me at night
and I worry about it all passing by
and how I'll never be able to truly enjoy it
because anxiety lurks in my mind
and masks the feeling of bliss

I just want it to all stop
to be able to feel normally
be in the moment with the people I love
and have a good time without worrying
but it's just so hard to not think about
when the inevitable truth is
how all good things must come to an end
