Mhmmmm... Ahhhhh... The world kept turning... and for a moment... I didn't. People were talking. Cars were passing by. Somewhere a door closed. Somewhere a child was laughing. Nothing stopped. Nothing changed. But there I was... standing still inside a world that never does. Mhmmmm... While the world was turning... I heard my own heart. While everybody hurried... I forgot where I was going. And for a moment... I didn't need to be anywhere. Ahhhhh... I was just... here. Maybe that's what we've forgotten. How to stand still without feeling guilty. How to breathe without rushing to the next breath. How to watch the light move across a room... without asking what time it is. Mhmmmm... The world kept turning... turning... turning... And I... just listened. To the wind. To a voice somewhere behind me. To my footsteps when I started walking again. Funny... I'd heard them a thousand times. But never quite like that. Ahhhhh... While the world was turning... I felt alive. Not because something happened. Not because something changed. But because for once... I noticed. Mhmmmm... I noticed. Maybe life doesn't always need a reason. Maybe some moments aren't meant to become anything. No photograph. No story. No memory we tell for years. Maybe they're simply there... to remind us... we are too. Ahhhhh... Mhmmmm... So let the world keep turning. Let tomorrow wait outside. Let everybody run wherever they need to go. For just one moment... stay here. Breathe. Listen. Feel. Mhmmmm... The world will keep turning. And when you're ready... you can turn with it again. Ahhhhh... Mhmmmm... But this moment... this one... was yours.
