Countdown
by Jenn Leonard '18

10 Time is a funny thing.
9 It seems like we are always counting it down.

8 Countdown to the end of class.
7 To the end of the day
6 To the weekend.
5 To the summer.
4 To the end of high school.
3 To the end of college.
2 To the end of childhood.
1 To the end of our time together.
0.

But it is only when the countdown stops that we want more time.
Another minute to finish the test.
Another hour to enjoy the day.
Another day of school.
Another week of childhood.
Another minute with you.
Another day with you.
Another year with you.
Another lifetime with you.

I miss you.
