  1. wait. for me.
    i’ll be there shortly.
    sure i’m taking my time.
    but we have all the time in the world.
    don’t we?

    oh. i guess not.
    well. um.
    i can work on going faster.
    i don’t have much practice though.
    i tend to move slowly.
    it’s just the way i am.
    sorry.

  2. why isn’t that we don’t have enough time in this world?
    or if we have the time, it is always put off.
    my strongest pet peeve.

  3. In modern society, the world “delay” is somewhat considered a negative. I, on the contrary, believe that delay should be practiced more often, as it is usually a moment to formulate a more solid, intelligent idea of what you were to say. Therefore, it should be more positively used.

  10. delay seems to be something more than just a waiting period it is a time in which you are anxious. You wan to continue on because it is an unexpected wait. Delay is much worse than something such as patience because you can control being patience you cannot control most delays.

  11. Don’t delay, say what you want to say. If you don’t do it now it won’t be done today.It’s time to party and time to play. No delay, delay it away, it’s not meant to be put off, or set aside anyway, I’m looking for your answer, and I hope it’s okay. De De De Da Da Day De De De Lay Lay Lay!

  12. I just wrote about delay. Why is it showing up again? Sometimes I feel like the technologies we use fool us into believing that they are tapped into ourselves but then we get a reminder that they are worse than stupid… they are fully unaware.

  13. There was a delay at the airport and she couldn’t make it to see her friend who was deplaning. The delay wasn’t an airline delay, it was the kind of delay we feel when we are getting ready to do something that we think might be difficult or risky. There was certainly some risk involved. What had they lost while she was away?

  14. I don’t want to delay. I want to do it right now, quit procrastinating, putting things off–even those things I’m wanting to do, I somehow avoid as if the sheer pleasure of it would be too much for me in my current fog. It’s weird. Some of the best trips in the world can have the longest delays–it’s not always self-imposed.

  15. The urgent-ness is rushing through my vains. I think of whats stopping me. the delay. another heart ache and yet i’m still here? together. not broken, not taped up. actually whole? was this just a further delay of what is yet to come? i’m expecting it. the utter con of life. the delay. we all know it’s an unstoppable force, or the immovable object. the delay is inevitable.

  16. There is a delay that keeps bugging me.

    It prevents me from completing that goal. Why won’t it leave me alone? Why does it keep tormenting me?

    Oh wait, let me finish rolling this joint and I’ll continue.

  17. What can go wrong? Just a minute or two, that’s all I need. Though if I don’t act now, it can change my life. So what is it? Wait or don’t wait?

  18. The delay in the trigger mechanism caused Jack to safely leap from the building, and while in midflight from one rooftop to the next, the deafening explosion swept over him, ramming him against the side of the Moroxon Building and into Phillip Morris’ window where they both came up coughing black tar and nicotine.

  19. i can’t stay with your moonshine breath heating my glasses when I’m being serious. 32 months. 31 months of drunk and spills. 31 months unhappy.

  20. delay the process as much as you can. when it finally comes you will surely be able to handle it. maybe you can make it never come about. or you will see what you can do to make everything better.

  21. There is a delay in this internet. It is going so slow.
    There is a delay in time when I don’t know what to say.
    There is a delay in that sometimes it takes me a moment before I truly know what I want to do.
    And I still don’t.
    How much do i actually care about the current situation?
    It is a question that may never be answered in full.
    All I know is that this delay makes me want it even more.

  22. Delay – waiting, wondering what comes next.
    Ready to move forward, but having to wait.
    Wishing the time would come, knowing there is reason for the delay. Trusting God in the waiting.

    N. Kourmoulis
  23. Wait.
    Please.
    I love you.

    No.
    Thank you.
    I don’t.

  24. You can’t delay. If you are always delaying, you may miss out on opportunities. You could be missing out on friendships and experiences you may never get back. Don’t delay!

  25. while waiting at the bus stop

  27. i often think that if i can just delay the whatever the inevitable future may be, then i can gather myself, straighten myself out. but i’m beginning to realize that i’m not delaying anything, rather i’m missing the now.

  30. There will be no delay. We are beyond that. All things are above being stopped. March forward. No barrier is capable of stopping us. We are one and nothing else. All has become entwined to the point

  31. Delay are everywhere in the world. You can avoid delay by first making us punctual. every delay has a reason, but it can genuine or not. delay leads to several problems further. there are many people involved in delays. You can aslo get emotionally upset because of delays

    Thus try to take delay as it come.

  32. The bus was late again.
    She waited patiently for the time being, holding her umbrella firmly in her hand.
    Another woman walked up, smiling, despite the fact that the rain was soaking her to the bone.
    “Uh…wanna share?”
    The second woman smiled and came closer.
    She was glad for the delay.

  34. I was waiting for three hours, and still he hadn’t shown up. What was the delay? I looked up at the list of flights again, then checked my watch. Three goddamn hours. And I was so sure…I was so sure that this time, he’d be here. He would be here, and I would be complete.

    I would be home, because my heart would be here, too.

  35. delay is a curse. delayed reactions can cause a lot of trouble. delayed planes cause anger. delay IS a curse.

  36. Does delaying the inevitable ever truly work? If you are delaying a feeling, is it possible that you don’t actually feel until the prescribed moment – or are you merely delaying the announcement?

  37. delay time
    no time
    so little time
    all the time

    delay time
    no time
    so little time
    all the time

    the clock is ticking,
    the hands reaching for 12
    i cant run out of time
    give me more time

    delay time
    no time
    so little time
    all the time

    Running to no end,
    running out of breath,
    running out of time,
    no time to spare

    no time to spare,
    but time is all we have.
    running out of time,
    delay time

    each fatal tick of the clock,
    not enough distance gained,
    precious seconds slip away,
    my legs do not move fast enough.

    delay time
    no time
    so little time
    all the time

    out of time.

  38. I feel a delay in reacting to this word. It is a dead-line looming sort of word. I already feel behind and I haven’t even started. Hmmm. . . It also makes me think of all the should’s in my life: dont delay doing the right thing.

  40. Lizzie looked around her at the cars surrounding the wreck. Many drivers were cursing at her as she placed her head in her hands and knelt by his body. She took one last long look at his beautiful face, now forever marred and scarred… And then everything went black.
