You Say Hope

Lovely.

He says things like
"Look at the moon"
As if he has nothing better to do
Than to think of his silly babygirl
When God only knows
The trouble he's going through
And maybe his bass only knows
Who he sold his soul to
Cause I'm one lucky sonofagun
To get so lucky with him.

 

She says "Watch your back girl"
And "I've got your back girl"
But I've never been in better hands girl
Than in his caloused hands
When they stroke my face
Or brush the hair out from my eye
And I've never felt so high
Than when I'm in his arms girl
Yeah, I've got it bad girl
But it feels so good boy.

 

He says "Don't get ahead of yourself"
And yet plans secret meetings
In the city - like two little kids
Sneaking around summers apart
Worlds apart from
The little boy who makes me smile
So I take a minute and measure each mile
For four weeks, seems like two months
After its been two months
And I've promised him forever
It will feel like forever.

 

Despite what he said, she said, he said
I say "I don't know where I'd be"
And I want him to say things like
"You're here with me, so just shut up"
But instead he says "I'm Hoping it never ends"
And with a single capital like Hope
I'm stuck hoping for a future.

They say "She's looking for a happily ever after"
But don't they know I've already won
I don't need no prince charming
When I've got a beast
Cause Monsters always were
More my style
Until I saw what monsters did
To my complexion
And a pretty girl turns pale
As my hair blows in the wind
And in my face
So he brushes it away
Until I can see and say,

 

"Sad, pretty woman
walking with a
disinterested man,
business attire, tell
me thats not whats
in store for us."

 

And his reassuring smile reminds me
"2 months babygirl.
Ant its been great
I'm Hoping it never ends."
And his reassuring smile gives me Hope.

God moves in mysterious ways. Maybe it will have a happy ending , maybe not!
Amazing work.
