Can someone please explain this draw to me?

You ran out of time but because your opponent didn't have enough material to checkmate you, the result is a draw.

How did you know what I was referring to? I don’t even know how to post a picture of my last match on here....I was still trying to figure this out when you responded. Also how do you know I ran out of time? I can’t even see the time right now and I don’t remember what time was left but I’m pretty sure that I had a lot of time left. I don’t even know how to respond to your message on here so I’m posting another message. You see I’m using my iPad and there’s no option for attaching posting an attachment ...I got a snapshot of my last game but there’s no option for responding to a specific person’s message on my iPad. Anyway I’m just confused how you know which game I’m talking about and how you know I run out of time since I can’t even see the time right now and I really don’t think arrive time

Correction : ran out of time?

You mentioned draw, so I looked at your game archive.  The last game you played had a drawn result.  

https://www.chess.com/live/game/2449803829?username=samlechiq  If you look on the info tab of that game, it says "Draw by timeout vs insufficient material"  You, as white, ran out of time on your clock.  Your opponent only has his king and it's impossible for him to checkmate you.  Therefore, it's a draw rather than a loss for you.  It also says on that game that you have 0:00 left on your clock and your opponent has 4:04 left on his clock.

Man, if I had a Looney for every person who fell into a draw by running out of time and then asking about it...
