I don't know if time passes or not, <br />Or if it all comes together with spontaneity. <br />And though we think we are living- <br />Sequential lives, <br />It could just be our minds. <br />And I wonder if I met you, <br />Before or after I was born; <br />Or if I missed you when I was younger, <br />The cause for emptiness and pain. <br />Or if the reasons that I used to cry <br />Were all dedicated to this moment, <br />Where you break me. <br />Because I'm sure it takes a <br />Lifetime to get over this pain. <br />I'm sure by 75, I won't be over it. <br />Or maybe I already died, <br />Heartbroken and ashamed <br />And just don't know it. <br />I wonder if we are eternal <br />And our time never ends, <br />When we die, we rise up <br />And we do it again.<br /><br />author unknown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-the-concept-of-time/
