The Hope For Tomorrow - Soon The Heart Will Follow

A Poem by Jackson_Yang

The Hope For Tomorrow �" Soon The Heart Will Follow


In your eyes I did see

A moment in time when everything was meant to be

That glimmer of hope that made the ride worthwhile

That sense of belonging that was never felt before

The one chance at happiness no other was willing to be

 

In your smile I finally felt

The warmth of another who stood tall through the fight

A strength that made all others weep in fear

For the man could finally say goodbye without any fears

In arms reach was the one who deserved every smile without the tears

 

In your embrace the truest from of kinship was formed

Your hands became the window to our world where no other had been before

Every hug stood the test of time like no other could have known

There was no reason for our hearts to ever let go

We had found a touch of love even time could not have foretold

 

With our love there was no need for those few

The simple smiles that carried the lies of a thousand miles

Those menacing eyes that would only deceive this fool

No more would that pretty face cause this man to hide

For he had made a decision to be free from all their lies

 

So even as the heart continues to break each and every night

To have finally found someone who gave him a reason to fight

Made those long nights of mourning worth every tear

For there was no longer a reason for him to be seen as weak

He had finally found the reason to fight for what he believed

He finally became a man who stood tall through all their spite

The lost love showed him that even nice guys deserve to be treated right

 

In your goodbye he finally realized what was done

It was through love that made you let him go

For you knew he needed to find someone who wasn’t so far

The loss of another was not an easy feat

But you loved enough to let him stand on his own two feet

 

In your goodbye there came a new hope

That through these many days he could finally see

You were truly the one who was worth each and every fight

Even as others called him naïve

This heart still believes the only love was what is meant to be

 

So here I will stand and become the better man

To finally live the life that would make him proud again

You gave him a reason to live for tomorrow

You gave him a reason to finally give love the chance to end all his sorrows

I will wait for as long as my heart chooses to follow

 

There is finally a reason for him to look forward to each and every tomorrow
