Hope

as we walk down
it s the beautiful strangers that catch our eye
its the possibility
the promises
hope is everything we live by
i knew a girl once
i only met her once
but she changed my life
the only thing i hope for
is that she feels
the same way i do
albeit our paths may never cross
all i can do is hope
love likes to be sad
is it the sadness that comforts us
but flashes of hope
that elate us
time has taken over
and only if they meet
will i live again.
one look
etched on my mind
but hope drives me away
to the eyes in front of me
which have all the love to give
hope is what holds us back
hope is what takes us to where we belong
hope is what takes me forward.
out of sight
out of mind
the flashes will remain
and i will live by them
taking me back
leting me know i can feel
we are vulnerable
leting me know we have no defences
our boundaries are mush
which can be washed away
with a look.
open your mind
and look up
the sky will take you forward
to where you belong
and to the life you want to meet.
