Once...
I lost something I've never had.
A gentle scent, always there, but never part of me...
Locked inside its frail mind
My will just stood and watched
As nothing but a fervent dream,
Like a star, dying out, sent the sky ablaze.

So once again
A wish is left in the hands of chance,
And a heartbeat skips the choice...
Hope steps up for dare,
And the leap of faith never comes.

Is it really so hard to live,
When you know someone out there is
Worth dying for?
