Analysis of At Present

Saudia Danih 1993 (Zamboanga Sibugay)



i don't know where this would lead me
but i feel like enjoying the moment
laying down all the cards to take chances,
it feels like chasing the horizon
yet i know somewhere it will end
and i don't want to think of that tomorrow
i just want to stay here today
until it lasts and fades away.
