The wonder ceased as the years accrued,
Though I focussed hard on what I knew.
I had my dreams and watched them die,
But the glimmer didn't quite leave my eye.
The things I needed became so few.
Then I saw your face and my dreams renewed.
An awakening happened within my mind,
and I was fooled for a really short time.
Once again my hopes were cast to the side,
as my newly found dreams went out with the tide.
