Time passes

Idly staring into space,

Time passes.

Slipping out from my grasp.

Drifting further and further away from me.

Time I can never get back.

I should do something. React in some way.

But here I stand.

Frozen,

Crippled by fear.

Disconnected from this reality.

Tears slowly running down my face, unnoticed.

Barely holding myself together,

Just moments from falling apart.

But Time waits for no one.
-N.M-

Everyone wants to escape sometimes

Birthday wishes

A birthday message from one of my close friends, that I hope to never forget. 

"Happiest of birthdays vriendin*

I'm sure you can forgive me for being half an hour late to the party but you must understand I simply forgot... Luckily for me, this holds no bearing on the quality of our relationship which you should no to be a cut above the rest.

Perhaps you don't know this and I accept full responsibility for I do not let you know enough just how special you are to me and how much you mean. Your personality is endearing and is the ribbon that perfectly ties up and holds the many intricacies you as a person has to offer.

I know you love your birthday, even though I think you might love it too much.. and so I hope that your day was exactly that, your day. And that you received and were blessed abundantly by pure joy and showered with wishes from your nearest and dearests. Much the same as I have attempted to do. 

You're far more blessed than millions of others and hopefully one day you will realise this, on the small chance you haven't already. 

Furthermore,  you are a light to many people and I can only pray you remain this way because your energy had brought me out of such dark waters on more than one occasion. And I am most confident I am not the only one who has been graced by your prowess.

I love you to the ends and back*
