The Streetlight Renaissance

I'm jumping,
A spring breeze is blowing
Though the dusty regions of my heart
Left to rot from the very start

Of this new-found age of skepticism
That's left me blind, to the joyous wonder
Of sunshine dreams, moonlit fantasies
A soul to yearn for, and grow ever fonder

I had no reason to believe
Fed up of exhausted reprieves
The suffocating acid of naked obsession
And the crush of being no more than a possession

That left me shattered, lifeless on the floor
Sitting, watching emotion trickle down the drain
Questioning own existence under the stars
And vowing: To Never Fall In Love Again.

Easier said than done,
And so, as the setting sun
Bathes the cornfields in fire and light
And ushers in another one of those cool summer nights,

I let my mind wander, and it settles on you
With an unsurprising lack of hesitation.
You have a real knack of infiltrating my mind, you know
Not that I'm complaining - it's a beautiful sensation

When your eyes grab my gaze and hold it to rapt attention
And fills my heart with new and powerful energy
That threatens to drive me to sheer delirium
Unless I relent, and allow it to break free

And smash negativity to kingdom come,
This smile on my face is real, and true
I just have one question left for you to answer:
I still believe in love; do you?
