nowadays

Nowadays it has become something hidden and rareSomehow it is a little miracle – therefore not fair  That I am an optimist – even on this dayI believe in true love – it is my chosen way  Feelings attached to me – may not be considered a sinSo please just let me say – magic I still believe in  Since soul-mates I’ll always want to keep above all reasonSo we’re all feeling home along and every season  Whether this… or that… – endlessly I’m here to waitInfinitely reaching for hope – meaningless up till to date  I know there are things in which I lackI’m only human; still you refuse to take me back  This once smiling, effortless optimist wishes for to know whyCause you have left him changed this last july  I’m blessed with the inability of understandin’ how it has all begunStagnant time still’s too painful; ever I’m doomed to run                                                               As I said the optimist will wait though it ain’t that much fun Rationality takes over immortality, a nightmare the past’s done, Leavin’ nothing behind, but this fadin’ pun
