One Single Stupid Second

It’s so funny how One moment everything is fine. The sun is shining The birds are tweeting Just another perfect day. And in one second -one single second!- Everything you have worked for Everything you live for Crumbles away around you. You were Having fun Laughing Singing Playing. Then- in a stupid second- Everything changes. Now you’re in Total hysterics Screaming Crying Panicking. The car came down too fast. There was no way he could have ever Seen it coming. He crossed the street Just at the Complete wrong time. Then he’s gone. Breathed his last breath Just a second after His head smacked the ground. People were praying. Others were getting people Out of the way of the Paramedics. But I knew he was gone. You can feel it heavy in your heart. You can feel it twisting your gut. And part of you just knows He is never coming back to kiss you goodnight.
