I had high hopes for us.
That your eyes would gaze into mine
And you'd see the world in a different perspective.

I had high hopes for us.
That we would laugh everything off
And see every fight as a part of our story.

I had high hopes for us.
That we'd forget our hectic past
And look forward to our perfect future.

I had high hopes for us.
That we'd fall in love;
In the midst of the silence that was overcome by happiness.

I had high hopes for us.
That we'd meet again,
And recreate our fairy tale once more.

This poem was inspired by the relationship I am in right now, and what I would hope to become of it some day.
