Who among us doesn’t wish time would stop for a moment they love?
Who among us doesn’t wish the clock could stop ticking and the chronometer could stop?
If only life would give us a few moments to experience what we’ve never experienced before..
If we could go back in time, we’d relive moments that have become a distant memory.
We would laugh heartily with loved ones we no longer share much with.
We would gather with our families and share the warmth of family moments. We would share our time, our gatherings, our meals, our sorrows, and our joys.
We would chat together, sit together, and stay up late together…
If we could relive the beautiful moments we spent with absent relatives who left us, leaving us with memories…
And empty homes we pass through, missing their warmth.
If we could relive the memories of school with beautiful companions who have all parted ways…
Those days when we spent the most wonderful times and made the most wonderful memories.
Those who left have left. Those who traveled have traveled. Those who left have disappeared… And we have grown accustomed to separation.
