If I had to,
I'd rather be.
Discarded once
then reused,
over
       and
              over
again.
'Fake it till you make it', I'm told
As I tremble under the weight of fear
It's a warm statement, yet one so cold
What do I fake if nothing's clear?
The path to success is paved with questions.
Today is tomorrow's past
I’ve seen clearer eyes than his,
but there has never been
a sharper image of myself
reflected
back at me
than I see in his.
Will you stay in love with me
If I sing a rhyme?

Because the past is the past
And I’m in a different frame of mind.
Come share this heartbeat of mine
So we can flourish over time.
Oh, honey, won’t you stay in love with me?
And let me be…
Oh, we can be...
We'll become adults
when
we
accept
the timing
of the
universe
without
trying
to
understand it.
