Waking Up From Heaven

Waking up from heaven
Has to be about the hardest thing 
I’ve ever done
And opening my eyes
To reality
Is no fun
I dream of loving you
Of wanting you
And being with you for all time
Of knowing you
Of feeling you
And never letting go til the end of time 
But when I come back
From the firmament in the sky
And I step down to the ground
I see life for what it is
It’s counted by the seconds
By the minutes
By the hours
It’s gone
Because time is temporary
