When I Had No Hope For Us…

I saw you again tonight
Whisper “yes” in the lake
Drizzling blue eyes

I had to believe again in the force of fate
by the way that you come around like the waves
Your death queen’s name smashing my peasant’s heart
Sorry, my crumbling hand can’t get you attached

Rip my mind
Make me doubt
Golden ring falling apart

You went away
But I didn’t drop
Not again

I’ll just wait….
…’til you call me back
