Dear Time,
Why? Why do you always leave so fast? Why don’t you stay by my side? Why do I always feel as if you were working against me? I trusted you, I didn’t care what people told me about you and I was stupid, because they were right. They used to say you were a double-edged sword, that you only stayed for long when something bad happened, but when good news arrived, you vanished as if you were unable to see someone blessed or happy.
I thank you for giving me everything I now have, but why did you give me all this if you would take everything away? Everything I have in my hands; you would snatch my entire life. Don’t you think it’s rude to give me something and, after I become fond of it, take it away without mercy, without me knowing why or when?
Since you are unrecoverable, I need to spend my days with you, but you always confuse me; you are hidden and never what you seem to be. You fool me again, and again and I always forgive you, but in spite of all this, it is unavoidable to stop following you everywhere, and even though you are toxic, you have also taken me to everything, to every event in my life, you have made me know each of the persons that surround me, and from the brightest morning to the darkest night, you are my company.
Can you remember the time when we were younger and could enjoy Mia’s friendship? Even though everything was picture perfect, it wasn’t enough for you and you had to take it all away; or the time when I was stuck with the cruel thought of leaving my country, and you just sat there to enjoy the play.
And if I didn’t make it clear, not so dear Time, not so wonderful Time, I wish you to learn something from my most sincere letter and have some mercy next time; because it is not worth it to be untrusted and have a hundred enemies when you can have a single friend that counts for all of them.
