High Hopes

so suddenly it came to be

surging within and setting free

my dormant heart within this chest

internally keeping its rest -

As summer left and autumn came

cold snuffed out the burning flame

of passions deep within our souls

of which we ne'er could control -

I pray that this is not the end

that you are more than just a friend -

I'd wait a distant thousand years

to wait until you can be near -
