Sometimes it's easy to get lost
Buried deep in thoughts we fail to reach
Most of the time we cast out lot
Belief within that this time would be different

Disappointments and fulfillments
Two firm points of life
What we have we fail to cherish
What we lack we could only long for

Tomorrow they said would be better
Yet the one thing they failed to say
Was our now would determine that tomorrow
So we hold on to the words of hope
holding on to a belief and forgetting to live

For as long as I can remember
I never got a chance to live in the moment
Always chasing after a dream
I soon forgot,if I didn't keep those important to me
There would be no one to share that tomorrow with
So I sit in an empty room tonight
A letter to a girl I once knew I write
When she reads this tomorrow
I hope my advice she takes,

Dear D
The fast train hurts less
The slow train will be a tough ride
But if you find people worth keeping today
Slow down and live in the moment
For its these days that become memories
And it may hurt for a moment
Still these memories last a lifetime.
