Sometimes
Sometimes, I need a little space,
A little time just to think
What's happening around me
So much has happened
I have no time to stop
and savour moments ,
So precious , so dear
For I have to rush on to
The next station
The next appointment .
Life is always such a hurly burly .
I need a little time to myself
A little room to breathe
To pull back and stand aside
To let all these moments sink in ;
Good moments or bad
They are just as precious
For they concern you
Your sincerity , other commitments
Other friends or other frolics.....
I want to close my eyes and say
It's true , it's happening
Now , at this moment .
To me ..good or bad
I want to forget about tomorrow
Or even today .
Yesterday is all that I have .
I am not sure about today .
Tomorrow is far away , so
I hold on to yesterday .
History is the subject I like to study .
As history is about things happened
In black and white .
I don't want to See things clear
For I live in dreams ; in unreality .
For in my dreams there's you .
