Here's to Hoping

Every time I have to watch  you walk away,

I find my heart pleading it's with me you'll stay,

A life absent of alone the high prices I'd pay,

A forever kind of life where its beside me you lay,

Under the covers getting that good play,

Those little wrinkles of hers catch my stare every day,

From beside her eyes on me they prey,

Got me looking for cover just like a stray,

Everytime she smiles this guy they slay,

Be the death of me they honestly may,

But I'll be beside her smile till my heart's decay,

Just a fool two steppin in love's ballet, 

Hoping she's the girl that gifts my life a beautiful bouquet,

But if it's this jaded man she chooses to betray,

Darkness and putrid hate will follow my heart's dismay.
