I have no time

I have no time

Stop bothering me!

I have no time

I’ll see you tomorrow

I have no time

Why do you keep asking?

I have no time

Let’s postpone the visit

I have no time

I’ll see you some other time

I have no time…

…I really don’t!

 

But now you are gone

 

I regret the days

I had no time

I regret those words I said

When I lied that I had no time

I regret saying to you,

“I have no time”

Cos I really do have time

So much time to regret

So much time to mourn you

So much time to wish for more time

More time with you

So much time to pray for forgiveness

So much time…

Oh, please forgive me!

I really do have time

Please, come back!

Come back to me!

This poem reminds me that the world really needs to slow down but yet theirs a continuous desire to speed up. the idea of faster things of faster life is maddening. hours to minutes, minutes to seconds, seconds to sand, flowing through your fingers, slipping away. So little time left so why speed it up even more.
