it's awful how time slips by,
and you know it leave you
because you're sitting in front of the clock,
observing the second-hand
tick, tick, tick.
so many missed opportunities to spend time
with your friends who have said,
"we HAVE to hang out"--
but it goes by, without anyone noticing.

apathy from my end,
apathy from your end.

perhaps the interests are changing too much
and we both don't care enough
to to tell each other.
