4 Years
1461 days
Feels like forever,
Is covered in the desire for the end of the endeavor
Plans flow like a calm brook in a forest,
Gently and smooth, absolutely fearless
Then 1095 days
Memories of the days prior linger
We glance back and think that now we must be mature.
Yet,
Still there’s more to come,
Hopeful, we start to run.
Now 703 days
The questions pour in-
Where? When? Who? How? Why?
Now is the time to make mistakes…
Now is the time to reach for the sky.
But It’s creeping up closer-
The feeling of goodbye.
365 days left
It’s racing
Flying
Pushing and pulling
Make a choice
Pick a direction,
And think about your old clouded perception.
We thought we had time
Thought we knew it all,
How fast it went.
Blinked.
And we’ve made it to the end
Our lives completely changed.
