Ice creams melting. Day dreamers before they wake. Do you know what it feels like, To have loved, And lost, And to know, Not your mistake? Feels like Fresh apples growing Knowing not the scent Of their rot. Or like That strange sad feeling Of perfection, not a looming blemish Not a tiny little speck Not even a single spot. It goes without saying That the Sun will rise And the Sun soon shall fall. But the Sun's always there To forever watch us all. Yet, just, I can't help but feel, Inevitable--- Since ice creams, No matter how delicious Will sooner or later melt If we take too long to savor. And daydreamers, No matter what they seek Must always have their wake Without resolving their endeavor. Do you know what it's like To fight the undefeatable? For is it truly better To have loved Then lost, Than to accept the inevitable?

Ice creams melting. Day dreamers before they wake. Do you know what it feels like, To have loved, And lost, And to know, Not your mistake? Feels like Fresh apples growing Knowing not the scent Of their rot. Or like That strange sad feeling Of perfection, not a looming blemish Not a tiny little speck Not even a single spot. It goes without saying That the Sun will rise And the Sun soon shall fall. But the Sun's always there To forever watch us all. Yet, just, I can't help but feel, Inevitable--- Since ice creams, No matter how delicious Will sooner or later melt If we take too long to savor. And daydreamers, No matter what they seek Must always have their wake Without resolving their endeavor. Do you know what it's like To fight the undefeatable? For is it truly better To have loved Then lost, Than to accept the inevitable?
Breaking the lines of Alfred Lord Tenneyson--- Is it really better to have loved then lost than to never love at all?
