This Love Is Not a DVD Player

i don’t wanna waste

one more

moment

being mad.

a mere

temporary tantrum

should not steal

our seconds

or take our

time, such a costly concept

carelessly tattooed

on leather straps

with circular faces,

memories (we could have made

but didn’t)

abandoned as nothing more

than faded traces,

than remnants of what could have

been reality

but rendered regret,

like scattered breadcrumbs in time.

this love is not a dvd player

we cannot pause

play

or rewind

- make the most of the time you have with who you love
