She Opens Her Eyes

Your face in a dream returns
Once in a lifetime comes,
And it passes by.
I'm never on your side,
And you must be blind
if you don't know why.
"She'll always take you for granted,"
A voice in the back of my mind said.
"You could be waiting your whole life for her to open her eyes."
