Hope


I like you more than life itself But I’m afraid for you and I , to have a chemistry. My heart is like the fragile wings Of a tiny little dove, easy to break. You'll love me for awhile Then you'll set me free. I've lived so long on hopes and dreams I don't know what to do. I know you'll only hurt me Yet, I still keep running back. Between the paths of our hearts There's a worn and beaten track, waiting for us to fix the damages. You've got my heart held on a string. It’s breaking right into two. I can only hope that someday You'll wake up and you'll find, That while my heart belongs to yours, Yours, too, belongs to mine.
