cynicism fades
into irrelevance
in this amber always
love is not an issue
in this softened space

everything that's hopeless
cannot stay
everything that's over
will burn
like this day
i will not be sorry
for things i cannot change
i will let the light be
the only thing that stains

human romance lies
about eternity
in the flaming moments
but someday i may believe in love
when the shame is spent

everything that's hopeless
cannot stay
everything that's over
will burn
like this day
i will not be sorry
for things i cannot change
i will let the light be
the only thing that stains

when the fear relents
i will not be stained
