For now we are smiling,
but forever we are following
a story written somewhere in our blood.
Love will morph into tragedy
with the turning of a page,
and into nothing with the tearing of it;
our tale will be memorable

My idealistic notions that I once held, that wound up in critical condition under the beating life gave it, have somehow been revived.
