The Umbrella That Was Never Returned

The gears of time turn slowly, carrying away the youth we can never get back. The people we once missed, the dreams we have let go of, the nights spent studying by the desk lamp until dawn, the college entrance exam that would shape our lives, the romances that ended with graduation, and all the things that made us laugh and cry in those school days that belonged only to us will eventually be sealed away in our hearts, buried beneath the dust. It seems as though none of it ever happened. The sun will still rise in the east and set in the west tomorrow. After the passage of time, the only things that remain are memories that cannot be erased. Promises we never got to keep, someone who will never come back, words we never got to say, and an umbrella we never returned.
