Opening
They say that the world waits for no man. If that’s true, what is it waiting for? It’s been waiting for something – but I don’t want to wait anymore. I’ve been waiting for it since the twelfth of February. It’ll be the twelfth of February again in a few days time. It’ll be the same day a week after that. I’ve been waiting a long time for the week to change. And in that time, nothing has changed.
Closing
Snow. Those little white flakes that fell to the ground. That – was snow.
In that one week, it never snowed. It was nippy but it never snowed. But, right now, it’s snowing.
I feel rather odd right now. I was feeling something akin to elation. And yet, I could also feel regret. I’m baffled by this. If the world waited just one more week, I wouldn’t feel like this. I would have waited even longer than that. As long as things didn’t go on this way, I would have waited. And in spite of that, the world wouldn’t wait anymore.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
