My Final Hope

I stand before you with nothing to hide

Awaiting the day true love and I collide

I've walked a road that many have tried

I've cried the same tears many have cried

Some how I still manage to stand up tall

I'm so terrified that I might again fall

But still I allow the sun to embrace me

Take me, mind, body and soul, completely

I cannot hold back any longer what I feel

So intense, so pure. Is it even real?

This picture I've got painted in my mind?

Will it lead me closer to what I want to find

It seems only like a fools step in the dark

Foolish to take a leap only to miss the mark

Willing, I take the first steps to a new day

Taking the time to go about it the right way

But is it worth it? To dangle from loves rope?

One can dream, for it is my last and only hope.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Many would have given up on love by now, but am I just a hopeless romantic, to want to give it another try? To embrace it another time? when it comes to me?
