thirty seconds



















if you stop for half a minute
and think about how long you live,
or how long you're supposed to,
and all the time you spend
staring out the window
or dreaming.
doesn't it make sense
to spend thirty seconds,
(half a minute,)
to consider the possibility,
however remote,
that the person you yearn for,
that you dream of,
that you want to grow old with,
might be the one you just dismissed
because of bad timing?

  1. i actually had a woman tell me after a couple of dates that it was just bad timing for her. she got back in touch with me months later, but i was dating someone else at the time.
