first i was dying to finish high school and start college

and then i was dying to finish college and start working

and then i was dying to marry and have children

and then i was dying for my children to grow old enough for school so i could return to work

and then i was dying to retire

and now, i am dying... and suddenly i realize i forgot to live

not mine x
