Remember when everything was yet to come
the story was unreading
the.........
time was all I have
by-.....
I didnt realize
life was running dry
right in front of you
is this all thas is meant to be?
...................
my life..... torn apart
life...short
I was unsure
was I was waiting for
thought it wouldn't be easy
but it would come to me
time was all I have
