Hopeful Romantic

The tomorrows can't come soon enough

And the yesterdays pass too swiftly

Differing between lies and love

Is a gift no longer with me

 

And still I cannot help

But look ahead until the day

When love's more than just a word

And finally I'm on my way

 

I still yearn to lay it out

Put my heart on the line again

To leave the places that I've traveled

And find the one I've never been

 

I'm restricted to running blind

But running nevertheless

Lest the pulse start to slow

And fade into nothingness

 

At times it seemed I'd never stop

And I was nearly giving in

No longer was I searching out

But content with places I'd already been

 

And suddenly there she was

Real and no mirage I'd hoped

I tried to reign my emotions in

But my heart already had eloped

 

To soon, it seems, to think these thoughts

But I confess I can almost see

Something real in her words

And the places that I want to be

 

Too soon to dream, common sense cries

Maneuver slowly round the bend

But as I open up my heart

I confess she's falling in

 

Where we'll go, I cannot say

I can only speculate

To continue on my way

And leave tomorrow up to fate
