Slipping

Too quick, too soon
Too slow, too late
Too quick to pass
Too slow to wait
Cracked and smudged
Once clean slate
I call it luck
You call it fate.




Note: As random as it gets. This was furiously typed away on my phone during a long, long train ride home, before a single word could be forgotten. Criticism is welcome (the best writers always need it, haha).
