Forever the Hopeless

Forever the hopeless

A day like any other day,
She walked into his life
Ponytail, cute smile
On those front steps
Thought of her for quite awhile.

Never a day would go a miss
To see her and her little sis,
We connected that first day
Barely six years old
I''ll never forget that first kiss.

A new town, new faces;
Again the girl next door
Straight hair and little sister
Who knew? Of all the places
Me, the cutie and her sister.

We laughed, we played
Held hands and listened
As we left the grass where we laid.
Were these two girls fate
Or just some random chance?

Flight missed, delayed
Till later that night;
And wouldn't you know
Another girl also had missed her flight
Again, delayed Till later that night.

An airline mix up pushed to first class
Seated next to the girl delayed
We talked, laughed, exchanged numbers
Again, fate? What can I say
Well played!

On a bus bound for the natural state
I met that poetic girl
And in that moment you just knew
But the kiss we should have had
Would have to forever wait.

Its the dream we all wish for in reality
That spark that just won't die
The trick candles always burning
The feeling, you never have to question why?
Keeping your heart forever yearning.

It's the romantic movie, novel
Where true love is just meant to be
The eternal flame burning fierce
Maybe it's just the hopeless romantic in me
That cupid's arrow could pierce.

That a love could just happen
With no warning and last the ages
Some call it Destiny others Fatum
Ones life already writ on the pages
But no proof of such datum.

I had given up hope to find another
When that blue eyed Angel appeared
She captured my heart from day one
Which some might say "that's weird"
After that night, I couldn't wait for another.

She held my hand in that dark theater
Spent a day at a park, a lake
A day that felt like a dream;
That I never wanted to wake
Put it on repeat and play again and again.

The first touches, kisses
The smiles that never end
The first and last thought of each day
And with each goodbye, all the misses
The hellos that always felt like the first "hey".

Some romances
Take time to nurture and develop
A heart that grows from tenderness
And affection to a glorious build up.
Often thought out, nothing left to chances.

Give me the flame that just won't stop
The heartbeat going zero to sixty
In two point three seconds
The days you never want to end
Never caring what's around the future bend.

Their voices, their smiles
Their eyes, those beautiful eyes
Memories stop being of places and times
They start being of them
And when you get to see THEM, again.

Give me that love
From the first moment to the last;
Forever burned on your heart and mind
The hopeless romance, hopeless no more
It started with a Hi, that forever love.
