I once loved the most beautiful woman - so radiant, were you my dear, and so alive. 
It was for then, and it was forever.  
(awesome you were, as awesome as the mortal-I could so impossibly come to remotely imagine.)
Such was the wildest of my wild soaring dreams.
But, looking back, I now believe.  I now believe.  I now believe.

"Hey you bastards, I'm still here!"

I wish...

I just wish...

And then I wish some more.
