a christian hedonist

eternity exists only in the young hearts.

...

if i was 17,
everything would be different.

there'd be only you in my heart,
only you on my mind.

i'd never ask, though i might wonder,
whether it was right for us to be together.

cause i'd choose to believe
that love will conquer all things,
and that nothing is more important
than loving you.

oh i wouldn't care even if it's all wrong.

i'd just close my eyes

and leap forward

no matter what lies ahead.

...

but everyone will have to grow up

soon.
