Borrowed Time

in writing •  7 years ago  (edited)

We're living under the same sky. We're breathing the same air. We're geographically located on the same place, but we're living on a different time.

You're having your breakfast at 5am while I'm having mine at 11am. You're going home at 5pm while I'm just starting mine. Technically, your day is my night and my night is your day. You're awake when I'm asleep. You're asleep when I'm awake. Distance does not separate us apart. Time does. Time, the only legitimate measurement in this world.

We're only meeting halfway everyday, but it's okay. Indeed, I am ALWAYS looking forward to that part of day where I barter my hi for your hello. That specific time of the day that transcends every second it pushes us apart. I could not ask for more. Actually, I am happy that I am given a chance to catch up with you.

I know in my heart that it's not always gonna be like this. I am hopeful that someday, when time permits, we will have all our time together. And when that day comes, we will not live on borrowed time anymore.

Good
I like it

The time was borrowed
It not ours
We dont know tomorrow
Its not set

So everyday could be the last
So we should live it right
