time and love

There's not enough time, there's not enough time, there's not enough time. I am neglecting so many people right now. Life is too short, life is sweet. I'm making plans. I'm making changes. I'm having ideas. Spring is here. It's raining. Things are happening. New friends. Old friends. People are moving. People are loving life, people are hating life, people are surviving. The hard stuff passes, new stuff hurts, we move on, we move on, there are people we love, and it keeps us going; the hard truth is, scientifically speaking, the fact of love is what keeps us going, the little mechanical gizmo keeps ticking, and it's beyond our control. Don't get over it. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and listen to the tick-tock. It's there.
