Wistful Eyes

I keep wanting to look at you
Even if I try to ignore it
The compass in my heart always
Points towards you

For a long time all I have known
Were tears and pain and loss
Ever since happiness trailed off
Leaving agony in its wake

It seems that over the years
I've all but forgotten about hope
But whenever I look at you
I forget all my fears…

And start to dream again.
