I will NEVER have enough of you. But isn’t that the story of life? I think the whole world can agree that we spend half of you trying to save or prolong you. Unfortunately, life is a giant hour glass, the sand slipping through my fingers, and I have no way of stopping it. This … More Dear Time,
You are my singing soulmate. I gazed at you from above, knees pressed against the balcony, arms gripping the velvety ledge, completely submerged in your story.
