time passage
Hours slipping away
Time passage is the movement or flow of time, often considered as a span that has elapsed: The time passage between ancient Rome and now seems impossibly vast.
The phrase appears in contexts reflecting on how intervals feel or what changes they bring: With the time passage of a few years, her grief softened.
More commonly expressed as passage of time.
