Time when I was a kid


When I was a kid, I used to just run around the entire compound at dusk, touching everything i could see. The leaves of the trees, flowers, the wall of our house, the kennel, the car if it was parked outside the garage, the rock I used to stand on to test my balance, the clotheslines and the clothes hanging on them. I knew that that particular day was never coming back again and it’d be the last time I ever touched those things before it passed. I used to feel really bad because of that thought. I don’t do it anymore though. I obviously grew out of it. Now I just don’t think about the passing of time, just like I didn’t realize half the things I used to touch are no longer around until I wrote this.
