Running Out
"Have you ever felt like you were running out of time?"
Yes. The day I met him.
The day I fell for him.
Every single day after that.
I felt every day
That I was running out of time.
And I was right.
Because I did run out of time.
That led to us having right feelings
At the wrong time.
And since then
Everything has been about
Timing.
"Timing is everything."
And the timing is never right.
Why couldn't the timing
Be
Right?
Were we just a fault in a code?
An hourglass meant to run out?
Something meant to fall apart?
I'm running around,
Hoping you'll come back.
But instead
I'm running out of time.
