In That Second

In that second, the wondering, the yearning to know the answer

In that second, the sad, empty stares that would give away the secret

In that second, the outpouring of disbelief that overwhelms my heart

In that second, the apprehension of being able to live life any longer

In that second, knowing that your life is about to change

In that second, realizing that you will never be the same again
