40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I have two....
"Never was on time
Yes I once was mine
But that was long ago
And darling I don't mind
We were just two friends in lust
and baby that just don't mean much
You taught me not to love
when you showed me what it was"
"this is our last goodbye
i hate to feel the love between us die
but it's over
just hear this and then i'll go
you gave me more to live for
more than you'll ever know
this is our last embrace
must i dream and always see your face
why can't we overcome this wall
well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all"
