when can it be

acceptable to recognize

how warm a heart can be

for a pure love

a lifetime is really not long at all

to live wholeheartedly for once

to burn, just once

when will it be

permissible to realize

our existence is just a short while

to laugh, to dream, to live, to love

to remember, to forget, to regret

with the courage to disregard everything else

to pursue such a love

when should it be

tolerable to memorize

these measured thoughts

to live without fear

to love without an end

today’s destiny should be that

can love be that, just for today
