31 Day Writing Challenge: Day 5 - 'Time'



I'll always remember how you manipulated time.

The way you'd speed it up when I was having a hard day, all I had to do was be near you and the minutes would race by.

And you'd slow it down when we shared our deepest thoughts and fears, so that I could commit every word to my memory.

The way that time would cease to exist (along with the world) when I was wrapped in your arms, that must have been you too. 

Time didn't matter when we held each other tight, neither wanting, or needing to let go so you'd send it away.

How did you manage to stop time with just a smile? Did you do it to make sure I didn't miss it, because you knew I fell more in love with you each time? 

The past visiting me must be you're doing too. The way time flies backwards around me, so I relive our best and worst. That way you're always the one on my mind. Are you trying to make sure my heart never forgets? Never lets go? 

The future I was so sure was firmly within my grasp suddenly turning into thin air has to be another of your manipulations, only you could make time disappear. 

Yes, you did so many incredible things with time, my darling, but, by far, the most impressive trick you did with time, was turning forever into a few months.
