Time.

You can tell how much I dislike something by how fast I get over it. Food I don't like? Eat it all in one sitting. People I don't like? End the interaction as fast as possible. Song I don't vibe with? Skip skip skip.

The pattern is pretty damn clear.

But when I like something or am enjoying myself, I do my best to slow that moment. There's moments in my life I'd still be living in if it was possible. Food I'd still be tasting. Songs not on repeat, but neverending. Love I'd still be giving.

I just wanted a few more seconds, a little bit longer. But time is somewhat cruel. Never lingering, always moving. Launching me as always into the next moments of my past.
