20 Minute

The other night we searched for excuses for this not to end, only we didn’t allow ourselves to realize it quite yet.

You wanted to play another episode, but I stopped you from being too eager.

Another episode translated to moving faster and I had to make this last.

You asked for one more, but I couldn’t give in.

If I did, it meant helping this end.

And who could allow that when there was so much to mend,

So much time left to spend.

All that material we have yet to tread;

Impending cleanse.
