I thought we had more time. I held forever like a single day. I didn’t know you were an inhale Already turning into an exhale on its way. Smile… laugh… touch… kiss… All of it drifting into distance, into space, into this. I’m stuck between the tics Of yesterday’s stubborn clock — Where the seconds ran too quickly And the past refuses to stop. Light speed — Where everything moved too fast to feel. Light speed — Where I’m still holding your hand, Even though you’re not here. I replay the quiet moments, The ones too small to save. Your shadow in a doorway, Your warmth I couldn’t keep brave. I thought we had more time. But time had other plans. Now I’m learning how to breathe again Without the shape of your hands. Light speed — Where time stands still. Light speed — Where I’m holding your hand still.
