I’ll Dream of More

Taronis – 2003 – for a young girl that thinks I’m kewl

I was once young and unsure

But I am a guy, and you are a gal

Could it be different, the uncertainty

The paths are numerous

The time seems boundless

I was once insecure and vexed

Insecure about what may be

Vexed by what was not

The paths open and wide

I strained to look beyond the bends

I felt much of what you feel

But differently from my eyes

You are a gal, and I am a guy

Could it be different, the uncertainty

Boundless at your age

I can offer only what I have learned

And hope to never misguide your step

So free, so young, a peppered sprite

Wide-eyed and hopeful

Bounded by my age

Oft thought fancies of my youth

Separated by two dozen years

A pity that, life’s cruel joke

I’ll offer my friendship

I’ll dream of more
