Days Go By

I know it's not fashionable

To be this hopeful,

Or laugh away.

I didn't think it was possible

To be this grateful,

Any way.

And I know it's not sensible

To be this passionate,

Everyday.

Days go by.

I catch myself smile

More than you'd ever expect.

It's been a long while

Since it's been okay

To feel this way.

In the volumes of history,

Have you ever seen anything

So pure?

In the wildest mythology,

Were the gods and goddesses ever

So in love?

In your own experience,

Have you ever known tenderness

Like this?

Days go by.

I catch myself smile

More than you'd ever expect.

It's been a long while

Since it's been okay

To feel this way.

These are the most precious

Of all my days.
