hypothesis

I want to go the distance, not just stagger through the night,
I want to win the war - not just a single knockdown fight.
I'd like to prove my instincts right, that love can well endure
if alchemied from equal parts of lust and sure love, pure.

I want to test the theories, and prove the critics wrong,
I'd like to write a catalog and not just one good song,
for life is more than living through a single hour's span
and I should like burn with you for as long as lovers can.
