Hope
To hear him speak and know,
To be with him and see my love grow,
To laugh for once with happiness,
To sit and watch his seriousness,
To stare into his deep, deep eyes,
To hope he won't make me cry,
To get close to him is quite a goal,
To know what he sees when he looks into my soul,
To give my pain a rest,
To finally regain consciousness,
To restore my faith in humanity,
To be finished with all insanity,
To look at the other who wrenched out my heart,
To look at him and say, I found my new start,
To have the one who will stay in my grasp,
To think I would learn from my mistakes in the past,
To know I'm willing to let this all happen again,
To see I'm right back where I began,
To where he has been all my life,
To look at my heart that's so full of strife,
My heart screams at me to go ahead and fall,
Yet my mind yells, stop before you hit that familiar wall,
I listen to my heart full of muffled pain,
Then I hear the coming of a new rain,
If I get hurt this time it's no fault but my own,
I wonder if someday my heart will turn to stone,
I know I will soon turn to look,
To look at the life, the other so long ago took,
I refuse to wither in my own self pity,
I will not go to the insanity of the city,
To hear him speak and know,
To be with him and realize I once loved another so,
To laugh for once with pure happiness,
To sit and watch his seriousness,
To stare into his beautiful eyes,
To know where my heart really lies,
To draw him near me is quite a goal,
To share with only him the secrets of my soul.
