The Finish Line

Days go by in slow motion
I watch people go by through a screen
No on notices me
I'm glad
It's hard to accept that I've been left behind
But such is life
You can do everything to catch up
But it's never enough.

The journey was over before it even started
The finish line right in front
But I refused to see it
Couldn't bring myself to cross it
Now the final whistle
Has been blown
The last of the spectators
Gone...

I close my eyes
Memories dance past
Laughter, tears, love, passion
They're all still there...

I take a deep breath
It's going to be okay

I cross the line...
