I keep mementos of the past in a box
I have enough of the those
Now I have a box for the present
A place to keep your charming smile
A place to keep your mellifluous voice
A place to keep your electric words
I need a box for the future
A place to hold each other
A place to keep our families
A place to keep our friends
A place to keep our bad days
A place to support each other
If all goes according to plan
I will need an enormous box
Our path is daunting
But filling this box of the future
With you
Is a relentless dream I keep in my box of the present
