Perspective
Forever isn't quite so long,
As yesterday had made it seem
For now I feel significant
Not just a shadow in a dream
It's lovely how you say my name
As if perhaps I could be real
And how those eyes lock into mine
Seeing me - not my ordeal
For yesterday I'd given up
The world too sharp - too clever
I'd been a fool, but now I guess
I'd like to live forever!!
