Real-life Magic

Real-life Magic

Everything comes alive 

by the other's side, 

magic occupying places 

of our own creation. 

Everything comes alive 

like make-believe 

constellations 

from golden reflections. 

Even if forms of real-life 

magic exist 

around the grasps of our fun, 

being with you is enough 

to make me see it true; 

for everything to come alive.
