Results of a Restless Mind

You are hope

I hope the day will not come
When I can pass you in the street
And keep walking

I hope that life will not push you away from me
Though I fear it's too late for that

I hope I will know what it is
To lie in your arms until morning
And not have an excuse to leave

I hope you will not break my heart
And that I will not break yours

I hope we will not have to choose between what we want
And what is right

I hope that our minds can stay fragile
And not have to harden against the cruelty of this place

I hope you will know me always
The way you know me now
More intimately than skin and lips

I hope that you will always be mine

I know that that is foolish

I know I don't care.
