Sweet Twenty

I have the same hopes 
now as when I was 
twenty and longing. 
All I longed for 
when he was twenty 
have really come to pass. 
But the flavor of reality is 
not the same as the flavor of dreams. 
As I walk through the city, 
the flavor of dreams drives me. 
Saturated in the honey of dreams, 
I expect impossible things.
