As the clock ticks so does the memories of the day
Memories of a man hustling to make earns meet
Memories of families mourning the death of a beloved brother
Memories of stress at the office and the challenges of life
Memories of a friend whom gave companionship to a man that is sad and miserable
Memories of loved ones, the joy and laughter they bring
Memories of the pains we go through each day as it makes us strong
Every second reflect the heartbeat of life we have left
A few seconds can change our memories for a life time
A second more takes us into a brand new day, unknown of its shortcoming
Every second in our life tends to be treasured
Every second the heart beats like lots of tiny star
That makes up the brightness of the sky and her beauty at night
It gives life to the night and makes her smile
It gives a man strength and hope that happiness is not far
As the clock bell ticks, so does life moments of time we spent on earth
It's a minute to midnight; i stare as life goes by
Conscious that another day is fast approaching by

Last night i saw a girl walked passed me
As she fades away i keep having memories of you
In my heart, i tried to fight back the feeling
But my heart is fragile when it comes to you
And there was nothing i could do
I thought of how long you have been away
I noticed it's been long since you went away
I also noticed for the first time
How dark and lonely my street is at night
I never realised how lonely it could be without you
I tried to content myself and looked around
I watched everyone as they passed by
Hoping i will relief myself from this misery
But it hurts me even more
Because, out of all the people and faces i see
I didn't see that one person i long for
That one person that i have always loved
You
It's been 21 days since you left me
Though this might sound silly
I have lost appetite for everything
Every moment i think about you
How precious the days we spent together
It was wrong for me to let you go
Damn what was i thinking?
I most have been out of my mind
It's like holding a billion dollar
And not knowing what to do with it
In my heart i have been praying for you to come back
I still have all the good memories of you framed in my heart
Do you remember when i was ill and admitted at the hospital
Everyone thought i wasn't going to make it
But you sat on my bed the whole night praying
Though i was unconscious, i was looking up to you
I thought i could love someone else
But you got that smile i can't find elsewhere
21 days since you left me
My life has gone down the drain
