Late in Bloom

Slowly I begin to realize
That the past and future have been tied
Like me and you in many ways
Like our dreams have played before these words
The taste of pain in this recipe
Moves between flavours of you and me
And life hurts more in innocence
We’ve both had our fingers burnt
What it is we learnt I can’t say

The world plays its tune
While my heart’s a crowded room
I won’t change too soon
Loves late in bloom

It’s so hard just to turn away
From the meaning of your yesterdays
I step into moments of fear
She says the future does not care, oh no ??
A reason follows every falling tear
The reasons are beautiful when she is near
Her eyes are like an antidote
That saves the lives of poisoned hopes ???
Love helps my mind to be renewed
