Moments

I wrote this (and many other incoherent words) hours after I found out that another friend of mine has been taken from this world.

Rest in peace Lacey, I love you.

4.23.12

So often we've all wanted to turn the hour glass upside down. Add just a few more grains of sand.

Or maybe just lay it on it's side, allowing time to stand where it is.

To watch the minute hand slowly decline in speed.

Until there is no movement upon that dreaded clock.

That's what I want more than anything.

I don't want to be aware that time is moving...I simply want it all to cease.

For it to stretch on and on. I want just a few more moments with you.

A night filled with our uncontrollable laughter. And a movie turned into a game of shots.

I want to see that amazing smile spread across your face like wild fire.

The glimmer in your eye so contagious I smile right back.

To hear your dreams and aspirations. To be there when you're sad, and listen to your story.

Making the ending a happily ever after.

Why have you gone? I wasn't ready for you to disappear.

This isn't how it's supposed to end.

Your life was no where near finished.

We still had plans to be executed, and more to make.

The tears hit my face when I realize you're truly gone.

The time should have continued ticking. Just more is all I ask for?

The darkness enveloped you in an instant and now it falls upon me.

Darkness fills my mind as I've got nowhere to turn.

Please oh clock, retrieve back to where you were just days ago.

When I could see you walking around. Bringing joy to so many.

To see the love overflowing from your life.

Independent and free.

I guess that's what you are now, free from this world, resting in peace.
