Castle [and other poems about growing up in a fairy tale world]

Forever

Don't tempt me with that word
When you don't even know what it means
Feelings always change with time
And it's something that no one can reach

When we're young we all hear stories
That have a happy end
Where the prince and princess marry
Not realizing it's just pretend

Don't say you'll always be there
That we'll work it out somehow
When you don't know where you'll be tomorrow
Just be here for me now

It's nice to dream of fairy tales
That all of this will last
But all that's certain is the present time
And the time we've spent that's passed

So let's savor every second
Take in each lesson we can learn
Because no matter where our futures bring us
To this time, we can never return
