My immortal soul

February 13, 2015

I want to live forever

Never die and cease to be

I want to live forever

And always be able to see

I don't know what lays beyond

Or what comes in the next life I will set forth on to

I can't see what the future holds

Who I will be and if my old self will be changed anew

All I know is now

All I know is me

The future is unknown

But the love surrounding me

That is something I can see

Something I want forever more

I don't want it taken away from my life

I want everything in this world--peace and strife

I want the love I hold so dear to my heart

I want the bliss and merriment like the scrumptious taste of a tart

I don't know who and I don't know how

All I can see is here and now

So I should stop viewing the future and live right here

For while the future is imminent it's an end I fear

I want everything to last and not be stolen with haste

I want to bite into a juicy orange and cherish the taste

And so I'll frolic and live and be

And always wonder and try to see
