This Never-Ending Now

a couple embrace in front of a sunset

Life is short, they said
So make the most of it
Take a chance
Do the thing
Be the one to say I love you
Play in the rain
Jump in with both feet
What are you waiting for?

You have your whole life, they said
Slow down
You’re still young
Where are you running to?
Don’t be in such a hurry
Enjoy the journey
It’s never too late
It could happen

Here we are just bending time
Pretending we know what it means
To have plenty of years still ahead of us
Pretending not to notice
That years have already come and gone
Stretched out behind and before us
In this never-ending now
Where we haven’t even kissed
