About this poem
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ifWOSnoCS0M&pp=ygUPVGhlIHdheSB3ZSB3ZXJl I’m getting to old to keep chasing you around…Will you continue to run away from me???Or is it actually you have been telling me all of your pretty lies???I’d still like for you to stop running and reveal yourself to our children…Those who may consider us their parents who see us as their role models…The future dreamers of dreams and aspiring poets to be…The choice is yours…Shall you continue on as Alice or reveal your true identity…Of course I could be vain…And none of our poetry was meant for one another…I can’t promise you the world…I don’t think I should promise you anything…I’m afraid I just might break them if I did…I couldn’t ask you to make any promises to me either…Trust is something I feel we have developed over these many years together…Or am I wrong in beliviving such gibberish???Blah blah…
