Ode to Becky

You closed your eyes forever
How long is forever
Will you ever open your eyes again
Who's eyes will you open next
Will your new eyes ever see mine again
I so long to see your old ones
Old eyes, old memories
New eyes, new memories
I get the feeling this is where we forget
Old eyes, old feelings
I get the feeling that feelings change
Old eyes, old knowledge
New eyes, new knowledge
I get the feeing we know nothing

.............................................

You closed your eyes forever
Forever ended yesterday
Once again, you open your new eyes
Who are you this time?
