Analysis of Last time was the last time
Nompumelelo Bali 2002
The first time I saw you after the last time I saw you
Some parts of me wanted you
Outside I was cucumber cool
But inside I yearned for you.
I wanted to feel your touch for the last time
Laugh with you for the last time
Kiss you softly for the last time
Talk about my crazy family for the last time
But there wont be a last time becuase
last time was the last time
