Have you noticed that as you become more and more alone, time passes more and more slowly? Being lonely is the easiest way to freeze time. But of course, who wants to freeze time when there's nobody around to enjoy it with you?
I can think of a few select people I'd want to have with me when time stopped. Obviously I'm not going to name names, but I'm pretty sure they know who they are. Imagine having the entire world to yourself for as long as you wanted, with somebody you care about right there with you- to talk to, to laugh with, to hold onto and not have to let go of until you decide to let the rest of the world start up again. Yesterday and today, I discovered quite acutely that time passes too quickly when you're with somebody you love. That's the one bad thing about caring for people so intensely- I never get enough time.
