I Could ...

I could…pretend like none of this is happening to me. Or even try and convience myself this is all a dream, and at any moment I am going to wake up and realize this. I could…imagine I was somewhere else, somewhere far away, where what I said and did had no consquences. I could… wish for more time, precious time, which seems to be running out faster with each passing moment. I could… live my life, with nothing but moments: memories frozen in time within my head. But for today, I want to forget about what I could do, start thinking about what I should do. For today, I want time to stand still, live in this moment without the preoccupations, of what could happen in the future. For today, I just want to be me.
