Reinvention



My optimism misleads me
Especially with memories
I was in lecture taking down equations
About how pencil-lined structures should have been
If designed properly

In the hour I fell asleep
Opening the doors to this dream
Well what if the world was how I imagined
These textbook equations I would understand
And breed new beginnings

And reinvention would occur
On all fronts that we're aware of
Science, society, responsibility
Fresh air carries conversation
I let you speak while I wait
Your soft words come out right when said

And reinvention would occur
Retroactive to four years past
As if though I was a senior and asked you to prom
The midnight dark conceals our hearts
I would have this last dance with you
Because this dance was overdue

My optimism misleads me
Especially with memories
This life never follows this story I write
No fairy tale endings on this hope tonight
Little dreams mean nothing

But reinvention would occur
Even with the days we have now
I still built this friendship on foundations of love
Even if our hearts never meet
Underneath my dark blue bedsheets
My life requests your company

And reinvention would occur
Where we need it the very most
Because I fear what will happen when we’re in dark
One day we’ll find a better way
With what we really mean to say

Sparking the bulb for brighter days.
