Seconds
The average lifespan of an American is 78.74 years
That is 28,740.1 days
689,762.4 hours
41,385,744 minutes
2,483,144,640 seconds
It only takes a second to hurt someone
And you could spend your whole average 2,483,144,640 seconds trying to fix it
Trying to make up for that one second you messed up
But it takes years to earn someone's trust
And it takes seconds to break
But forever to repair
