I've completely forgotten.

Time has definitely left me behind a cloud of dust.

I see them everyday but i have forgotten who they are.

Who?

My parents.

I didn't even realize that as I grow older, so do they.

My father can no longer trim the trees in my backyard.
He can't take out the trash anymore - it's gotten heavy for him.

My mother can no longer do housework the way she used to.
It takes her half an hour just to clean up the living room. A >100% increase compared to her average of 10 minutes.

And where have I been?


In the office. With my friends. In my room.

Everywhere, but here.

Anywhere, but with them.


Time reminds me once again that I stand to lose more as I stand here alone.
