The relevance of time

When you are younger you have no idea
Of the relevance of time
What it means, or how much you have
Wishing desperately that you could have it all back
So many things I miss, that I didn’t know I had
Everything I’ve loved and lost
Has slipped in between the cracks
When someone you love is gone
When someone you love has died
It feels like all your memories and the moments you shared
Have all faded to black
And as time goes on, and years pass
The memories are harder to recollect
It leaves you wishing desperately
That you could have it all back
by Gabrielle Elise Jimenez
You can find this poem in my book “It Never Gets Easier to Say Goodbye,” which is a book of poems about life, death, and grief.
