Romance

You romanticize the world
Seeing a flower as life to die
The sun to set
Children to grow old
And love to fail
Your feelings deep
Never a thought wasted
You take the world seriously
Believing in love
In life
In laughter
And believing that it will all end
Your heart is pure
And your soul is open
Your poems are real
Never change my dear
Keep the world in front of you
For you can never be boring
Not even in your sleep
Your fiction is too real for fiction
Your emotions too strong for the night
Explore the world
Show your true feathers
You thrive on truth
Your muse is your soul
Fly high my dear girl
Don’t look back until you’ve had your fill
I’ll be here for you
To relay your adventures to
Tell your tales
To my awaiting ears
I love to hear you
As you romanticize the world
And see beyond your own heart.
