Time is an illusion - Albert Einstein
We see hazy outlines of
a future that could have been,
Close enough to touch,
Yet veiled from within.
We gaze wistfully at the past,
Frozen in photographs,
Alive in our minds,
Like the resounding echo of a laugh.
We live in the present but never experience it,
An infinitesimally small moment,
Always there,
But always gone.
