Over time,

What you knew before

Is replaced

With the knowledge you have now.

 

Thoughts slowly change,

New ones come and go

As well as people.

 

As time keeps on ticking.

 

The difference

In those around you

Is significant.

They change drastically

They change slightly,

Or they're not there anymore.

 

Your focus

Is thrust upon

A new subject

A new desire

A new passion.

 

As time keeps on ticking.

 

Surroundings change,

Seasons

Belongings

Time

To the air outside.

 

The world 

Keeps moving on.

 

As time keeps ticking.

 

Slowly,

Then all at once,

Your time stops ticking.
