Ocean Eyes

"I've been walking through a world gone blind. Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind."

Time.

Something that we all took for granted and then begged for more. We understand twenty-four hours. We understand sixty minutes in an hour. We understand sixty seconds in a minute. But we don't fully process it until the time is gone and as it ticks down, we grow with it. As time goes on, we move with it. As the seconds passed, we step a further into the future until it suddenly becomes our past. We step into something so magical and then suddenly, it's gone.

    Time through us off. We sat there for ages. The times we weren't talking, only made me regret not saying anything. The seconds it took to order, to watch the food being placed in front of us, to lift a fork to our mouths, to chew, I regret not speaking. I wanted to know him. But in the hours we spent sitting there, I never got to my unanswered questions. Questions that have been hiding with other thoughts. Questions I've been too afraid to ask.

And as we part ways, I feel sad. As we get in our separate cars, I yell at myself for not using our time wisely. As I walk into my empty apartment, I silk and lay in bed. And as time flies by, I regret not texting him. I regret not calling. I regret not joining his live stream.

We can never catch up with time, but it always seems to be one step behind us then a thousand steps in front us.

As time makes the sky go dark, I regret not doing anything else. I sigh into my pillow and close my eyes.

Time was a murderer and I was it's victim.

Sorry for the short chapter
