Short Lived

The Slurpee. 

I found this delicious flavor of slurpee and poured myself an entire cup full. Unfortunately, 7-11 only carried extra small cups so that deliciousness was sucked up through my straw shockingly fast. Now I'm at the bottom of my cup desperately attempting to sip just a few last drops of that sugar filled delight. Quantity can be so unfair sometimes...whether its the amount of slurpee you down in ten minutes or the amount of time you have to spend with a person before they leave you for 730 days... 

It's like a really good song you wish was longer than just 3 minutes and 47 seconds. That last night together, you wish that it could last forever...yeah, time is cruel. 

Like a flicker of light in the darkness, it lit up the room in which I was standing, stimulated my sight, but before my eyes could adjust to the brightness it was gone. However, a colored outline of the light remained imprinted before my eyes long after the light ever existed.

Although the experience was short lived, the memories will last forever.

There's my metaphoric/poetic reflections for the day.
The End.
