Life is Flashing By

Have you ever thought why?

By Elizabeth Blade Published 5 years ago 2 min read
Cherish the times you have.

Life is flashing by. 

Have you ever thought, Have you ever thought why? 

Life you think is so slow, but time it just goes.. 

It goes.. 

When you were young and having fun.. you thought nothing about how hard life could be. You played along and had fun alone in the sun so happily. 

Then in a blink of an eye it passed you by. Now you sit alone and wonder why? 

Thoughts of the younger years make you cry, you wish you can have that time again. 

What happened to all your closets friends? They found a love and a new life.. They met their husband, partner or wife. 

They had some kids and moved away.. 

But in the yesteryears your thoughts do stay, Wondering how it could all just go away?

As I sit here and I am old and grey.. I think about what happened to those yesterdays? 

I remember when things where so brand new, then time went and passed me by.. I wonder if I could catch a glimpse of the good old days where sun was always bright and shiney in my happy days.. 

But now I grow older and life seems colder and I have I have to come to terms with the things the way they are now. 

I wake up and in the night and I think of back then, I think of how it all seemed so simple then. I wonder what happened to you my friend, It has been a little while when can I see you again?

I am sorry I cannot see you now, life has got so busy I don't just have the time now.. 

So here I am again alone my old friend. Wishing I could turn back the hands of time when life could be beautiful all the time.  

I wish I could show the world what I see through my eyes. But they will never see what I see inside.
