Time

Time

is not real.

Thin air slipping through

excuses

you let become

truths

Time

is a measurement,

of a thought

a possibility

you don’t let be,

a closed door.

Time

is a chance,

you may not take

a kiss,

a word,

a promise, unkept

Time

is sudden,

an idea within a box

a smile,

a look.

The train you didn’t catch, didn’t run

Time

is within you,

in your hands.

an action,

a step.

Running  risks of reaching routes

to go or

to stay?

Time

is a gift,

an ignored advice

limitations.

Obstacles

I did not see

Time

you and I

wouldn’t ever have

a decision

made

on  a first second

Me

making

my way

Getting

awayfrom you

Time

is you

letting  me

Go
