Let me take you back to a time and place when the days were sunny. When life was a beautiful dream, filled with hope, and fulfillment. The day's were golden, and the sky blue. I lived in a dream. One that I could touch, taste, and smell.
This song was an anthem. The theme song to my days and nights. Back in 2010 this song sung back to me my heart song. Since then this song has developed layers of meaning for me. After, the dream and the bubble of niave bliss was shattered with a harsh reality that I jumped in, this song became something else to me.
This tune became a sad reminiscent song. A song of regret, a feeling long lost, an unobtainable bliss. Because there came a point when I no longer believed in long days filled with wonder. The tune teased and taunted my mind with the memories of innocence. I would listen to it when I was sad. I would listen to it because I yearned for what I had.
More recently, yet another layer of meaning has been added to this tune. It has become a song of anticipation, a song of hope, a song that represents the desire for better. When I hear it now, I remind myself that it is possible to not feel the judgement of others bearing down upon you. It is possible to have confidence without arrogance. It is possible to love and to see the option of pain and to welcome it knowingly.
I never want to grow old inside. I want my spirit to be young and alive, filled with dreams that wont die. Hope that takes me to new heights. And love that conquers all fear. I can be this happy and filled with joy without being naive. The world is filled with all manner of horrors, but there is love and peace that is bigger than that.
I want to be forever young. I want to live forever. I refuse to let the bad in this life out-do the good. It is when the evil causes you to give up that it truly wins. Defeat is when you permanently give-up. There is a time to lay on the ground unconscious, because life will knock you out. But there is a time to get back up and say round 2.
