~~Daydream of a Future~~

I think of the future, and I think of the past

I wonder how far I've come

Will the road I walk then

Be the same I walked before?

Or will it be new, a different dawn

Than the one I watch grow

As I head off to school, cellphone in hand

Waiting for the texts that surely come

I wonder how different it will be

When I hit thirty, with my kids

Will I have them yet? I hope so

I want my life to be good then

I dream of my life, and laugh and dance

Life will grow, life will heal

Life will go on, and I will go on with it

The past should not be clung to

I've learned from my mistakes

Learned, been scarred by, and grown

Of course there's a lot I know not

But there's still so much I have done

I've lived, and I will go on to live

I'll take the future and make it be

What I desire it to be

Children, a husband, a bookstore, coffee

Laughter, warmth, comfort, life

Horror movies and cozy, fluffy socks

A fire to warm myself at

Coiling up, like a cat, my head in my lover's lap

I love you, and you're part of my future

I won't leave you; I'll carry you with me

A memory, forever good

I'll never let you go, if you do the same for me.
