she left him, so…
So it has come around again, yes
And hopeful heart springs reflexively
Spinning visions of what might yet be
If only this or that would change
So the perfect path to the perfect future
Could unfold perfectly
If he gets over her, if he
Remembers me, if we
Come together for long enough
In the right way, at the right time
Then, says hopeful heart,
Love might again find its way home.
Hope springs on skinny legs
While realism sees the space between
now and maybe, keeps my feet
On earth, eyes front
