life into perspective

three months, we'll share an adorable apartment,
splitting bills, shopping for appliances,
creating memories to cherish in the years ahead,
those will be the days we'll look back on.

we know what to expect, having lived together for two months,
we're fully capable of building a comfortable, content life.
as long as we have each other and explore the world together,
there's no doubt in my mind that we'll be just fine, my darling.

how quickly will these next three months pass?
will it be as swift as high school flew by?
once, i had the power to hold onto time,
to make it pause for just a moment.

but since i met you, time seems to rush by,
as if the world revolves around only us.
this is what happens when we're reluctant to accept
that we're growing up, losing our grasp on the present,
in hopes of a future yet to come.
