Time, Time. Wherefore Art Thou?

The time has passed by tremendously fast. It's going pass at a crazy speed and I'm left eating its dust unable to catch my breath trying to run after and catch up with it.

Time, why are you so fleeting?
I try to keep up but
there's this other attention grabber
that holds my life by the neck.

It call Life.
Life holds me at the other end.
I'm tied up and
unable to fit other things into me.

Time, you keep moving on.
Even as Life holds me,
you encompass me even further.
We ought to spend hours together.

Hours turn into days, weeks, months.
Then, years happen without me knowing it.
Will you pass me by again?
Or will be fleetingly illusive?

Once again I'm without a solution
except to say I'll do better next time.
'Cause next time is all I have
Till we encounter each other

Again.
Meeting even for a second,
a minute to stretch into
an hour.

Day by day
week by week
month by month
And we get to know each other

again,
again,
again,
and again.
