we all have stories to tell;

songs to sing 

and dreams to dream.

we all have love to give;

a heart that will break

and memories yet to make.

we all have said goodbye;

tears that have dried

and barenaked regrets to hide.

we all have lingering sorrow;

the lost history of tomorrow

and nostalgia borrowed.

but we all have this moment;

a raw chance in the now

and we, as humans, get to say how.
