ACHES [Wattys Winner 2015]

My Hope 1

We lie here on my roof,

Watching the night sky.

Like we have done,

Since we were only kids.

She looked at me and asked,

"Kit, Why do they always run away. 

Am I not good enough?"

To which my dear Hope I wanted to say,

Comes and Goes whosoever may,

There's no denying the true fact,

That you are the most beautiful girl, inside out. 

But I didn't.

Instead I said,

"Don't think about them.

They weren't meant to be.

You will have Some one who will love you 

More than his own life,

And even then he won't be worthy of you."

To that you smiled and held my arm saying,

"You are a sweetheart, always reassuring."

You started to hum a song.

But why don't you see,

Hope, That guy is me!

I am the one who loves you,

More than love can imagine.
