Saturdays

By Nupur Kudapkar 

every saturday 

time goes by incredibly fast when i’m with you 

12 pm turns into 8 pm in a snap 

then time makes sure to let us have 

a swift goodbye 

a quick hug

and then 

i’m alone once more  

in the emptiness of my room 

counting down the days until next saturday 

till i get to see you again

– there’s never enough time when i’m with you
