Original Submission by Simrin Omaram

Let's stop time

Let's stop time and remember our favorite song we shared

Let's stop time and reminis about our past heartbreaks over a cup of coffee

Lets stop time and laugh at how silly we used to be

Let's stop time to when we would wait outside the school gate for our transport to arrive

Let's stop time for one moment to remember all we were, how we were with each other

Because thats when we were most happy Lets stop time
