A Lifetime Left To Squander

Hours drift by
like fluffy white clouds
across a clear sky
Transient thoughts 
darting across the mind

Imaginary conversations
fill empty minutes
creating scenes
all ending
in "happily ever after"

Time faded in a 
make-believe world
In the dark
the realisation dawns --
another day wasted

My mind wonders,
When will I stop
dreaming about you?
My heart says,
there's still a lifetime
left to squander
