Time will swallow you whole

it is weird, the things we wait for to happen to us while life is happening. We sit by the window, shivering, biting our nails. We watch the sun set and birds fly back to their nests and still, nothing has happened. But do we know of the baby that was born, that our brother called us to come see? What of the times our lover showed us the plan for her dream business? This is life happening but because we are caught in the trap of headlights bringing something unfathomable to us, we do not pay attention until it is too late.

You can be that person that waits or the person that does. either way, the universe will keep on. it will not wait for you or feel sorry for you when you recap and realise that the beautiful moments are gone forever and no matter how well your memory is, you can't bring dead things back to life. You go on. Instead of waiting, maybe trying is a better option. Maybe listening, seeing, feeling is better than being dead inside. This life has no mercy for wasters. Time eats everything. It is the universal glutton. While you wait, time swallows you whole.
