For the world to remember
What it has longed
To forget.
Now is the moment
When we must accept
That we are ephemeral.
Now is the moment
When we must let go
Of the past,
And embrace the world to come.
I want to believe
That there's a new world
Beyond the light
Engulfing my soul.
I want to believe
That the future is as bright
As the visions I see in my mind.
I want to believe
That when I'm finally ready,
I can shape the future
Into something worthy
Of existing.
For now,
Though,
However much it hurts.
I must say goodbye.
Because now is the moment
My heart must accept
That tomorrow will not arrive.
