You know how time is a man-made thing;
non-existent but created
to make this universe
more comprehensible for us.
We are born with this idea of time:
Seconds, minutes, hours.
Days, weeks, months.
But although we do age.
Although things do change.
Time isn’t real.
There is no clock ticking inside of us.
And sometimes,
when you lay in the arms
of the person you love
Listening to their heart beat
Feeling their chest rise,
as they breathe
in
and
out,
you realise
that time was never relevant
In the first place.
Because
how credible is a watch
when hours go by like seconds when you’re with them
and minutes go by like years when you’re not.
