Fragile Hopes

 

I have fallen for you without knowing it

I have reached the land of the unknown

A scary place where I could get hurt

 

I don't think you know that--

My heart is sensitive--

It hurts way too long

Feels too strong

But, hey, what do I know?

 

I try not to think of you like that

I mask myself in a desire for your magic

I hide my fascination in fanaticism

So as not to draw attention to myself

I wouldn't want to ruin my fragile fantasy

My single piece glass menagerie

 

I want to know what you think about this

But I couldn't bring it up over coffee

I couldn't find the time

I can't find the place

Nothing in my world feels the same

When I see your face

A startling reality

A starving triviality

To be in love with you

 

I don't know what kind of game

We're playing at

You're playing with

 

I'm playing to survive

And I wonder if your stakes are as high

 

Could we have two kids, a house and a car?

I think that carries the dream too far

A lazy summer dream remembered after waking

Could you fall without breaking?

 

You can't be my everything

But, maybe, in this moment

You're everything I want
