time

You try to catch it
grasp it in your fingers
it slides through like water
leaving you breathless
touching you briefly
making you think you actually grabbed it
that is the illusion of it
sometimes the only proof of it
is in the lines on your face
wrinkles that only seconds it seems
before
weren't there
I wonder
what will I regret
when it is the last second for me
I suppose
falling asleep when I shouldn't have
