Authored: November 6, 2021 Will you be my future?As raindrops fall on this windowIt’s strange that you draw a smile upon my lipsFuture constructs, nothing certain.Someday we’ll meetAnd love again, togetherAs the lights go outThen the quiet explosion.I’ve driven a thousand milesI walked across a million grains of sand on the seashoreI have laid under…
