sometimes
dreams do come true
while
the
heart is pure
from
the
shining night before
only
when
i
am thinking of you
and
i am still sure
love begins with a kiss
though
you said that you loved me
darling
i
am still in love with you

and while it’s hard,
i can’t find malice for someone that my younger self used to love
she would be too disappointed in me if i did

a wave of air
a stream of fire
a world ablaze
a person enranged
a life encaged
and eyes
and a smile
and everything
and you.
