What Hope Did I Ever Have?

What hope did I ever have
when your eyes can compete with the stars and win,
when the touch of your hand can stand against the ecstasy that comes with making love.
What hope did I ever have
when the world's waiting at your feet,
when one word from your lips can move mountains.
What hope did I ever have
when all it takes is your smile to calm a raging sea,
when stars align above you before you fall asleep.
What hope did I ever have
when you blew a kiss my way and a 100 others stepped up to grab it,
when you smirked and the world died of perfection overdose.
What hope did I ever have
when the rain and the sun move to your directions
and when the birds follow you like your very own
What hope did I ever have
when the taste of your lips is like an expensive red wine,
when only the perfection of the moon is fit to be your partner to dine.
What hope did I ever have
when the world tied itself around your finger
when your love became it's saving grace
What hope did I ever have
when your eyes told stories better than any novel could,
when your life narrated and oozed inspiration for the world to be amused.
What hope did I ever have
when the earth shook in your anger and cried with you in your sorrow,
when your heart decided for the world, if there'd even be a tomorrow.
What hope did I ever have?
What right did I ever do?
To break through,
to deserve you.
What hope did I ever have
That you would love me back
the same way I love you.
