NOT JUST YET

You don't realize it,

Not just yet.

You don't appreciate it,

Not just yet.

You don't understand it,

Not just yet,

You don't react to it,

Not just yet.

Maybe you won't ever realize it,

Not at all,

Maybe you won't appreciate it,

Not at all.

Maybe you won't understand it,

Not at all.

Maybe you won't react to it,

Not at all.

But I realize it,

As of now.

And I appreciate it,

As of now.

And I understand it,

As of now.

And I am reacting to it,

As of now.

The dream,

The hope,

The happiness,

The love,

The peace,

The belief,

The honesty,

The sincerity,

They don't exist.

They never did.

They never will.

It is all a figment of my imagination.

So the dreamer will dream,

And the dreamer will live,

And the dreamer will love,

And the dreamer will give...

MAYBE, but NOW, NOT JUST YET.
