Passages

There will come a time
when people who once got under your skin
no longer can

There will come a time
when work is no longer the priority in your life.
Because you will have other, more important priorities.

There will come a time
where you will learn to stay as far away from drama as possible.
It came disguised and breathless in the beginning, begging you to let it
in, to enhance the doldrum of your life.

There will come a time
when you will love someone as much as you love yourself.
This will happen when you finally do love yourself.

There will come a time
where you won't be addicted to sadness.
You will have it with you all the time, and realize that coming out
from behind its shadow, to stand in the sunlight, makes you feel a gratitude
you didn't know you could.

There will come a time
where writing down a few lines, a few thoughts, is no longer enough.
Only a whole book will be able to take in what you have to give.

There will come a time
when you will lose interest in the small talk.
You will want to keep your words for yourself.
