Face your life in the fullness of time
By Nance
13 June 2006
Face your life in the fullness of time
When you’re ready to even the score.
You’ve been hurt, you’ve been raised in the sky,
You have waited and dreamt at the door.

You will see you don’t want to avenge
Turning back to your dormant mistake.
You will sense you don’t want to wake up
Many years that proved to be fake.

And with painting present “today”
You are here, for your own sake.
Face your life in the fullness of time...
If it’s ever recalled and awake.

Hello Leo, 
 
I have written it using my own experience. Once I was thoroughly different, depending on people about, my life was not so remarkable. And I thought when I become stronger and more self-sufficient I would be eager to return there, to that atmosphere as the completely mature. Not at all. My life has changed, my personality inside has grown up, and I don’t need to look back. My present life appeals to me, people here and now inspire me, and I’ve got other challenges. 
 
Sorry if it’s a little bit long, I simply wanted to share this with you. 
 
Thank you for setting aside your time for this piece of work, and I am happy you’ve got its sense. Sometimes people say it’s difficult to perceive my thoughts. That is why you can imagine your words mean a great deal. 
 
Best wishes, 
Nance.

Dear Brook! 
I wanted to tell you about the first line. 
On the whole, first some idea visits my head, and then I try to construct a verse lstening to that tiny voice in my head and to those guidelines within my head. 
And here... considering, and thinking about my past, this line just broke out from me, and I felt I need to evolve this feeling. 
So I'm truly glad you like it. 
Nance.
