Love Lost

Oh, to be free and unfettered
To not worry or strive or beg
To know what comes next
and gladly embrace the day

But now it's the dark of night
When dreams own our being
And tell us to fear ourselves
For are we not the dreams

Should love leave us then
Sliding slowly and insidiously
Down the path to knowing
Are we then so lost to reason

How can we fail to believe
The day should be embraced
When our only salvation comes
With the breaking of each day

For Dan, my lost love
