Soft voice breathing of a hope and future, yet slowly closing in was the recognition of...time. Would it fan the flame or blow it out? Two young dreamers saying goodbye, desperate for one simple word...time, yet not apart, but rather together, time, just to be and know, to learn and grow...time....
