Days Go By
by Duncan Shiek

I know it’s not fashionable
To be this hopeful,
Or laugh away.
I didn’t think it was possible
To be this grateful,
Any way.
And I know it’s not sensible
To be this passionate,
Everyday.

Days go by.
I catch myself smile
More than you’d ever expect.
It’s been a long while
Since it’s been okay
To feel this way…
