Just a second

Just a second

I am waiting for the bus,

there's a heavy storm outside.

I don’t see if it's coming

to take me, or to make things right.

I look around and it is gone,

somehow there's nowhere to hide.

I will be late again

Yes, this is the usual, an everyday thing

I don’t understand, why?

I look around for just a second

And realize: something is missing

But now I see another bus

I will get on that

Yes, success!

The road is full of pits

The bus is going on a bumpy road

The brake is creaking

But the doors finally open

I arrived at my final destination.

And for just a second I closed my eyes

The bus disappeared

In shock, I am looking around

Somehow this is another world...

Yes, it is another world.

Because life is gone,

just like the bus disappeared a few seconds ago.
