Time (whisper)” — Ah… time… It’s one of those things… that feels so familiar… like people… we meet… places… we go… you know… time… (whisper) I remember… the first time I met him… do you remember… your first time? did it go slow… or did it go fast… or did it just… go… (pause) where does time go… it’s… elusive… yeah… it slips… right past you before you even notice you were in it… like that one… that got away… not because we wanted it to… but because… wrong time… (soft breath) isn’t that funny… time… how it just… decides… who we meet… when we meet them… how long they stay… (whisper) and when they go… time doesn’t stand still… not for me… not for you… not for love… (pause) and we say… “we just need more time…” (soft) but time… doesn’t need us… it just… keeps going… (breathy) lack of time… too early… too late… almost… always almost… (pause) time feels different… when you’re busy… it disappears… when you’re in love… it flies… and when you’re alone… it stretches… just enough… to remind you… (whisper) they’re gone… (longer pause) time is… space… between moments… but somehow… it controls… all of them… (soft, fading) and maybe… it wasn’t us… maybe it was just… time…
