leaving

it figures,
that it turns out
this way:
I can't be there
with you
anymore than
I can be here
with me;

time was,
I figured that
mostly all I had
was plenty of time,
and that my possibilities
were endless;

now, I've realized
that it's time
to prioritize,
before I run out of time:

carpe diem:
old phrase, new mantra:
hummed,
while I still have time.
