To Believe

I want to make them believe in beautiful things
Simple things
Things that cannot be purchased

I want to make them believe in magic
Real magic
Magic that exists between people's interactions

I want to make them believe in their dreams
The impossible dreams,
Which are only uttered on warm pillows between lovers

I want to make them believe in others
In the people around them
In the people who believe in them

I want to make them believe in love
Shakespearean love
The love that knows no boundaries, no limits, and no end

I want to make them believe in themselves
The caged within them
That one day they may roam the earth free, them and themselves

But mostly, I want her to believe in me
The man she fell in love with
Who is real, who wants to make her believe
