approached the world
with all that was left of me
with the scars on my back
and the light within

in this little backpack
the lessons i learnt
the mistakes i've made
the promises of tomorrow

time flew by
and it's almost...
....no longer scary

the scribbles in my book
i will hold dearly
so one day they may turn into art
for the world to see

Give me a second
To take another look
For me to remember
That smile lit so beautifully under the moon

Give me a minute
To refresh another hug
For me to remember
That scent that makes me feel at home

Give me an hour
To hold your hand
For me to remember
That touch that wants me so much to be there

Give me a day
To create memories
For me to remember
The times we spent together, in thankful laughters

If you could give me a lifetime
To love you
I won't have to sit in this corner
Trying to remember
All the good things we had
Because we will always be able to stay
In those times
For it will be in our own hands

But now it is all too late.

the words whispered
the walk done
the hope held, gone

the waiting
the anticipation
the wish upon a shooting star, faded

the moon stopped shining
and it stopped soothing
the sounds of the song
feathered away

my hands cold
no longer yours

from the day you left
all was gone

... i just took a little too long to believe it

so now it's time
to let go
