Time lingers on
The seconds tick away
Leaves turn burgundy
My heart turns cold
And your face beams
Sunlight streams from your eyes
You are everything wonderful
About the world
Wrapped into one neat
Perfect little package
And I'm an eighteen year old boy
With the winning lottery ticket
In hand
I am blessed with youth
And with you.



And still I am wondering
How someone like you
Could see something wonderful
In someone like me
I'm wondering even more
How you could ever bare
To love me whole.
