Impossible Wish

Walking back home on a windy winter evening after attending my college farewell party, I realized that I didn't want that winter to end and I wasn't ready for what I was going to face later in life. I wished that time could stop, that my hair would stop falling out and that my youth would stop slipping away. I wished that I had taken things more seriously, that I hadn't driven everyone away from me, that I had at least enough money in my pocket to catch a bus, that I had at least considered the inevitable consequences of my instantaneous actions. I wished that I could somehow escape from the harsh realities of my life, that I could eradicate all the suffering from this world, that the long walk back home would never end. But alas! no winter lasts forever!
