The Heart's Desire

Is it too much to ask to be under the sky
To watch the stars shine while the time flies

For my heart yearns to fantasize
But the truth of reality fights all my desires

The little me used to think childhood is hollow
But to be an adult is agony to follow

All I am asking is for little time
To stop for a moment, to pause your life...
