In times of confusion,
I am divided;
Hopeful, yet hopeless,
A strong sense of sureness,
Yet filled with uncertainty.

In those eyes, so calm and caring,
There is the most gentle soul,
One of knowledge, and compassion,
My love for you is strong,
But my hope of the return dwindles.

When we hug,
My compassion bursts forth,
Forever I wish to hold you,
Alas, I will let go if you want me to.
