Before I let you loose in this,
just listen to me one last time,
I want you to be grateful and keep me close,
and I promise I will forget all your crimes!

I will forget,
all the times you ignored my presence.
I will forget,
how you made everything else so important that it faded my essence.

Remember the times?
When you laughed till your cheeks hurt,
And everything that I offered seemed divine?
I want you to recall all the times when you cherished my presence,
Like in winters you always cherished sunshine!

As you move forward,
Leaving me far behind,
I want you to look back at me just one more time;
Keep me close, so I won’t let you loose in this,
before it’s your time.
The moments of the present that you are loosing, to build a future so unseen,
Isn’t worth even a million dime!

So Stop Where You Are!
Breathe a little and look around,
See, how beautifully everything will rhyme;
Keep me close as long as you have me,
As I won’t stay for you, more than your time!

Sincerely,
Your Life.
