Affections Left by Time

When I first saw you, 

I thought you were just a stranger passing by trying to say “hi” 

Then I found myself standing by your side, trying to hold on tight. 

Then a day came when I can no more sleep at night trying to keep you in sight 

Well, I guess this is just my might 

Funny that I cried when I realized how much I needed you by my side. 

But I end up trying to think, it’s a lie 

Now here I am trying to buy time 

Keeping up with you, I always end up taking a bath with lime 

I thought it’s my heart but I guess its chime 

Why do I have to deny? If you say that it’s finally you and I… 

When I saw you cry, I comforted you, but I think I’m shy 

Now, the next time I sigh, I see you reminding me “why” 

Maybe it’s because of you, I can’t seem to decide 

The two of us are confused whether this is right 

I just want to be someone you can rely on 

Why can’t I love you even though I want to be with you? 

Why can’t we think that we’re perfect for each other? 

Now I’m starting to feel why I even bother… 

But they said that we aren’t meant to be, 

Then I wonder why 

I almost thought… 

Is it because these are just 

Affections left by time 

And we both know that we can’t stop time 

Nor change it… 

Goodbye!
