Time
Time is endless, yet you run out of it.
It disappears as quick as it takes you to wish we had more of it.
Its the only immortal thing that dies with you.
Its nothing we can buy or create, simply use.
It's limited yet infinite.
We are all running out of time and what you have used our time on is irreversible.
So use whatever you have left wisely.
Make time lovable.
