What Time is Good for You

As it passes us by lets take advantage of it

They say it heals all wounds and flies when you’re having fun,

Then why does it seem to drag on every time I go for a run.

I’m being told it’s running out,

So what’s this killing it all about?

Time is of the essence and cannot quit,

Now get up and  lets make the most of it.

A night out on the town,

Or just a day in the sun,

Don’t rush your choice nor pick just one.

Time only matters when I’m with you,

And never hurts more than I’m used to.

It need not be every waking moment,

But in my life you’re the main component.

Let this be the beginning and not the end,

For that wound time cannot mend.

And if it would help I’d make it stand still,

 So I’m sure Father Time would make do,

Now tell me, what time is good for you?

It made me think of THE DASH IN BETWEEN poem.
I love it, and it also made me reconsider how I spend my time. Thank You.

[That_Guy]

I'm not familiar with it.

I'm glad man, hopefully for the better ;) Thanks mate for the review

[Adrian X Fuentess]

It is for the better, that poem is AMAZING. And your poem is close to it; different essence, different feel, but it's there. Love it. No prob.

[That_Guy]

I just started writing in February so I don't consider myself a Poet let alone an amazing one so yeah probably is for the best heh. I appreciate that.

3 pages of reviews, to review or not to review.. eh I'm already writing, I'd be a weirdo to delete this haha.

Very nicely written. Nice rhyming to it.

Time only matters when I’m with you,
And never hurts more than I’m used to.
^ I love those lines the most. I can definitely relate.

[That_Guy]

3 pages of reviews, there's my ego boost of the day. What have you done!?

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

Those are my favorite lines

[Destinyxi]

You're welcome

[That_Guy]

[Destinyxi]

[That_Guy]

aww and you want me to live! No doubt to probably give me a hard time some more, but still

[Destinyxi]

I give you a hard time?

[That_Guy]

you keep me grounded when my ego gets the best of me here and there

[Destinyxi]

ha, that's not giving you a hard time. that's giving you the reality check you need :P

[That_Guy]

[Destinyxi]

[That_Guy]

You do have a great smile ;)

[Destinyxi]

[LOfCharlemagne]

Very well done, i love how the concept of time is used throughout this story. The way you compare it (when you run it drags) is incredible. The effects of time(as portrayed in the story) are very well portrayed as well. I love how you define how time changes in many scenarios. This is highly creative, congradulations!

[That_Guy]

Thanks mate I appreciate that. this was one of my more fun writes.

[LOfCharlemagne]

I'd imagine so, it is incredibly fun to read :)

[That_Guy]

I'm glad you think so, I might have to check out some of your work.

[LOfCharlemagne]

Awesome! I write a lot of superhero based stories if you interested in such. My main hero is Charlemagne and his ally Nightfly.

[That_Guy]

Cool, I'll check it out sometime

A very well written poem, and a very true one as well. It really speaks to me especially these lines:
"Time is of the essence and cannot quit,
Now get up and lets make the most of it."
My two favourites. Very good, I love it.
