When your dad didn’t have the time to go to your school play
When your grandma was told her time was shortened and she only had six months to live
When you didn’t have the time to tell someone you loved them
When you couldn’t take the time to take a break and you overworked yourself
When you wish you could get time back
Time to say so many things
Time to stop many things from happening
Time to start over again
Time to repeat a specific moment
But to redo these things takes more time
And time won’t stop no matter how hard you try
