Icarus

Icarus

Today

Today is the last day
I am going to do this to myself
The last day
I will hold on to any hope
Today is the last day
I will diligently seek your face
The last day
I will allow myself to believe
You feel the same
Today is the last day
I will sit and pine for the joy of your embrace
The last day
I will dream of the fire of your heart
Today is the day
I will give up
On my soulmate
Today is the day
I have to stop
Though you said when long ago
