 Time Doesn’t Wait

By: Sachi Dixit

Time moves faster than I can think.

Days blur into one

and suddenly I’m older

without remembering when it even happened

Moments I meant to hold onto

slip through my fingers

I keep on saying “later,”

but later comes too quick

I keep on counting weeks instead of moments,

watching calendars flip too fast

Memories fade before they settle,

and I don’t notice until they’re gone

I wish time would slow down,

just for a second,

so I could breathe

and feel present in the moment
