In 3's
By: Kadasa Mori
The car spins around the corner just as he steps onto the crosswalk…
In 3 heartbeats your whole life could change.
In 3 seconds you'd be rushing to his side.
In 3 days she's made her decision and you and your brother are burying 2 people.
In 3 weeks you're realized your brother's gone to live somewhere else and you are totally alone.
In 3 months, you're still working the same job, still living in a daze, still alone. Your new girlfriend leaves you for another, you get in more fights, and it's a fight for survival.
In 3 years, your new door neighbor, the elderly woman who was always so kind to you, passes away and you remember you're alone again.
In 3 heartbeats you feel guilty but don't apologize. You state your name gruffly and watch as she looks up in surprise then lights up, your heart tightening.
In 3 seconds you realize that she's real, the smile on her face isn't a mask, and she's truly happy to meet you.
In 3 days she invites you over for pizza and movie night with a few of her friends and your heart starts to warm.
In 3 weeks you get the courage to ask her to the movies. She happily accepts and holds your hand throughout it.
In 3 months you've gotten so close you almost know what each other is thinking by the emotions flittering across her face.
In 3 years you're standing in front of her at the alter leaning in for a kiss.
In 3 moments you can ruin your life but in 3 heartbeats you can find love.
