Believing until now
This heart had died
My dreams about us
You by my side
…

Close your eyes
Imagine a world—
Where only dreams are found
To it, we are bound
…

Was it a moment of sanity,
Or had I gone mad?
Daring the near impossible—
Of painting Forgotten Lore.
…

I was a child
And you were likewise
I kissed your soft cheek
Looked into those eyes—
…

No, time itself didn’t stop…
But this hopeless heart did…
Speaking your beautiful words to me…
  It was only ‘hello’, but plenty enough
…

I think about the times we had
and those we’ve yet to have
About your big brown eyes
and how they stole my heart
…

They pierce my heart…
Big brown eyes…
I fell fast, but…
I fell much harder
…

A dream- it couldn’t have been
For everything felt so real
And if my eyes were shut
Would not the anxiety be less
…
