The Time We Never Had
It has been another year
Oh where has the time gone?
If I could only stop my life,
From quickly going by—
Then the world would stop spinning
To and find at their surprise
That life would be only
—you and I.
You and I together, forever;
Is it too real to be true?
To share a warm smile,
And those little things we do
But that life would slowly vanish
Like it never ever was –
As I find out one day sadly
That the time missed –
Was the time we never had.

I was going to go a completely different direction for this poem, but in the end, it turned into a quasi-romantic poem or it could be a poem about romance. It really is quite ambiguous -- and I'm not 100% certain on its meaning, even though I wrote it. It was a reflection on not taking advantage of the opportunities you have, and one day those will all be gone.

I like this idea because everyone's so busy in HK, sometimes we just rush past life.
It reminds me of my best friend. > < He's a Christian, but he still goes through a lot and is just rushing through life because he thinks that...well...life isn't all that nice to him, and he's just waiting to die. > < Reminds me so much of him, but yeah, it's something we should remember.
