I am and always will be the optimist, the hoper of far flung hopes, and the dreamer of improbable dreams. (11th Doctor)

The border between us grows larger

But our love only grows stronger

It is the memories of you that are my prized possesions

They are what give me new life day by day

You are like the elusive Fountain of Youth

Just beyond my grasp

Reaching into the dark void of my mind

I replay those final moments I had with you

I summon up all the hope and courage

That I need so desperatly

They can't keep us apart

Can they erase the memories of you in my mind?

Can they take the sound of your voice in my head

And cast it into oblivian?

They think their words alone can destroy our love

Their attempts are in vain
