You realize your wild side
lies somewhere within the past.
And fantasy dreams can fade,
even though you wish they'd last.
Your most precious memories
are but shadows, nonetheless.
And when reviewed countless times,
they tend to merge and digress.
Presumptions of who you are
and how you feel get explored.
And yet, doubts and misgivings
oft get discreetly ignored.
Cynical hearts question love;
despite its fragility.
And attempt to control it,
with rules of fidelity.
But hope allows lonely souls
to enter a bond of trust.
And encourages closeness
outside the pleasures of lust.
