Time Never Said I’m Sorry

Time doesn’t heal all pain, it’s just keeping going

I visit your grave,
and the grass grows like nothing happened.
The wind moves the same way it always did,
like it doesn’t remember the day it carried you away.


Time still goes by
with no apology.


The world keeps spinning in your absence
like your death
was just a milestone in my life
I was supposed to step over
and keep walking.


Cars pass.
People laugh.
Seasons change their clothes.
And somehow everything keeps moving
as if losing you
was ordinary.


But it wasn’t.


It was a crack in the foundation.
A silence that never filled back in.
A chair that stayed empty
long after everyone stopped noticing it.


I stand there talking to stone
while the sky stretches wide and indifferent,
and I wonder how something so permanent for me
could be so temporary
to the rest of the world.


Twenty-one years,
and I’m still waiting
for time to look back at me
and say,
“I’m sorry.” ❤️‍🩹
