I understand each word, but together it doesn't quite make sense to me.

Lo que es para uno con el tiempo va llegando y lo que no mismo tiempo se lo va llevando.

The saying isn't quite right. See if the corrected version helps you any.

Lo que es para uno con el tiempo va llegando y lo que no, el mismo tiempo se lo va llevando.

Still not really sure. Best translation I can come up with is "What is meant for one, comes with time, and what is not, goes away with time."

I have no doubts that that's the correct way, but I don't understand it.

¿Como puede el tiempo llevarse algo que no llegó nunca?

¿Entiendes?
