now

considered our future once,
she was aghast;

I was too busy
following the steps of the dance,
while slaying demons
from the past;

don't worry, baby, I said,
hopefully time will pass real slow,
before heartache and dread
come up from below;

take today's sure thing
over tomorrow's "I hope so,"
who knows what it will bring,
who knows how far we can go;

now is for right now,
and then is for then;
I don't know, maybe
we'll be together again.
