Hope, all that's left of it anyway

By Vedatroyee Ghosh

 

I try not to think a lot in love 
When we think, we get lost.
I wanted it to be slow and mellow this time,
Like that's what my heart's been yearning for,
And came in right then, into my life out of nowhere,
And I hope you stay,
I hope you are the one,
Because my heart feels safe with you,
My heart feels calm with you,
And I'm tired of all the games they play. 
You said that you have felt it only once before,
I hope I make you feel it time and again,
I'll give my all to you,
In the hope that you give your all to me.
It'll never be easy but I hope we get to go through this together,
And make it till the end,
Whatever that means for us.
Hope.
Hope is all I have.
But when I hear your voice it feels like more,
It feels like pieces of a puzzle fitting together,
It felt like a story being rewritten,
But with a better ending.
You called me at 6 am when I said I miss your voice ,
You would share your day with me like you've been doing it forever, 
You do things for me, you said you didn't know how to,
And I am here believing it.
I'll believe you, time and again, I promise
But do not play with my heart?
It is too early to be thinking this way. 
Been 3 weeks since the first time we texted, 
Been 2 weeks since the first time I heard your voice,
And 1 week since I first met you. 
I was scared and I knew you were too, 
Both have been broken by similar wounds,
Both haunted by similar memories,
But look at us growing together, 
All I can hope is that this one is forever. 
Hope is all we have. 
Hope is all I have.
