Why can't a moment be intimate, why can't it be timeless? Why can't our lives stay in the moments, why are they rushed, why do we rush them? How come life can't slow down, why can't we lie there for hours? Why can't we sacrifice a few hours to relax, to be in each other's arms? Why is it that time runs away from us and we lose moments that could have been special, that could have meant something more. And in meaning more, do we even know what that means? Why can't he just wait for her, lay there and just look into her eyes? Why can't he just take an extra second and admire her? Why rush away, making her feel used and not worth the time? And when will she get what she really wants, when will she be able to lay there all day and just look into his eyes, not wondering when he'll get up or when he'll leave? Maybe she'll never get what she dreams of, maybe it's not possible in this world... but why not? Why can't life just stop and let her do everything she wants and lay in bed all day? Why can't she just exist without existing and live the way she always wanted to? Why do her dreams have to be compromised; why do her dreams not count anymore? Maybe it's life, maybe it's reality, maybe that's how it is going to be, but it's not fair. It's not right and it shouldn't be... no girl should ever give up her dreams, no girl should ever have to compromise her time, her years. If girls are supposed to turn out just like their mothers, giving everything for the men in their lives.... then life needs to change.
