Optimistic Memories

Let my dreams be memories, and my memories possibilities.

By Holly WhiteheadPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Let me twist the timekeeper's dial

In the wrong direction,

So I can forget about the future,

And still have the past

To look forward to.

Let me turn infinity's fabric

Inside out,

So tomorrow becomes yesterday,

And I can walk away

From what will be.

Let my dreams be memories,

And my memories possibilities.

Let the world hear the echoes of my words

Before I speak.

Let me feel the sun

Before the day has broken,

For this lonely night ahead

Is never-ending.
