Sometimes,
you don't need a clock to
remind yourself that
time is running.

And one day you'll
Wake up to a different version
Of yourself, someone
Who looks too familiar
In the mirror, yet someone
Whom you don't recognize
Anymore.

But, life is like that
People change
Like seasons do.

One morning,
You'll wake up to
Another gentle summer
Peeking through your blinds
Melting the snowflakes
Of a stubborn winter
That dwelled
In your bones
For so long.
