It is a road less traveled yet even a long abandoned pathway has to end. As I tried to slowly raise my foot off the ground, I caught my breath in desperation to pause the moment only to find out that time is a moving picture playing continuously without mercy. There will be this one fascinating thing which will come to take over most of who you are only to pass, Fluttering its wings to an escape, Dissolving into air. I try, withstanding all my will to resist, to anticipate the arrival of the dark reel of film where the closing credits will soon roll in. My body shivers as I wish to preserve the remaining last few pages, But shivering might break my bones and I know That it is a terrible, torturous thing To want someone who wants someone else.
