20 Days

Without an invite, You took me in, A perfect stranger, Without further ado, You embraced me, An unexpected guest, When I had taken to you, Then I realized, Then I understood, I had a few days to stay, Few days to sail with you, Continuum of days to go onboard with you, The thought of these saddens me, I try hard to put up a smile, I try to blanket my feelings, It's hurting deep within. Day and night come, The clock ticks away, It's as if time is on a run, Like the end of days is near, Like doomsday approaching, How do I wish time can be trapped, How I wish it can be made to stay still for a while, Or at the very least made to decelerate. Time - a fundamental quantity, A measurer of events and occasions, A foot soldier with his artillery, A harbinger of separation, I am of the hope that we'll meet some time to come, Then we'll no longer be apart, Not anymore, No space between us.
