Maybe One Night
Location
Every time I look in the mirror
A face shows up
Except it’s not mine
I… can’t control it
She’s taken over my life
I just hope one day she becomes my wife
My parents call it infatuation
My brothers think it’s nasty
And my friends see it as a joke
But I know…
No matter whether anyone believes
That it’s love
They say that love is the language of the heart
But with her,
It conquered my mind
Gave my eyes dreams
And provided life its meaning
Now all I do is dedicate my time
Thinking, Dreaming, and Talking about her
It’s not that I’ve fallen for her
Just cause, she’s pretty or rich or smart
Not that she isn’t
It’s only because she’s full of virtues
And has a personality that I’d die for
And the best thing is she loves me too
But life isn’t that simple, is it?
Our culture won’t let us talk face to face
Forget, going out on a date
So all we do is sublimate
Our love into works that make the world a better place
I guess that’s how life works
Just the way the sun burns and the earth suffers
The heart falls in love and the mind suffers
It’s tough, controlling this and being so pure
But we both know that if it’s really love
Then God will reward us
Because good things always comes to those who wait
Today we both go off to college
Headed in different directions
And not knowing whether we will meet again
I say goodbye
But I hope there will come a time
When we will be saying goodnight, every night
