I Just Thought Of A Really Good Metaphor: “Change”
The song at the bottom corresponds perfectly with this GIF
She watched him pull out a dinged up can from his drawer and dump the contents out onto his desk: a few crinkled bills and scraps of paper, but mostly just a shower of coins.
“My prized coin collection from seventh grade,” he muttered. “Never knew it’d end up like this.”

What Happens As Time Passes
Coupons expire.
Food molds.
Hair grows.
Tea gets cold.
A song ends, and a new one starts.
Children grow up.
People age.
Dust gathers.
Seasons change.
Paint dries, and
Paint chips.
Records are broken,
Goals accomplished.
A pen runs out of ink,
The earth revolves around the sun.
People fall in and out of love,
Opportunities disappear and others open up.
A plant lives
A plant dies.
New ways to save humanity
Are conceptualized.
Fashion trends
Go out of style.
Not everything
Is entirely worthwhile.
Paper turns yellow.
A friendship is formed.
New ways to destroy humanity
Are brainstormed.
Someone grows impatient,
A lightbulb burns out.
Wrinkles form
Without a doubt.
Priorities are reevaluated.
Progress happens.
A body decomposes.
A relationship ends.
Revolutions occur
Movements fail.
Life happens.
Love prevails.
