Thoughts filled with him pass by the hours

Whether he will be the last to keep her hoping would solely be proven by time

Should the feelings pass

The reminder will be remembered with laughs

Most thoughts completely forgotten

But maybe-just maybe

He could be the first - the last, sincere guy

to hold her hand while walking down sandy beaches

staring past the sunset towards her gaze

To fill her with wonder, with bright new dreams for shared futures

Let’s not hope like that quite yet

They have just discovered their future could be within reach

Without knowing whether he feels the same,

she can hardly be presumed to fall for him so quickly

But she struggles day to day

to keep from those thoughts that make time fly

Whether time will prove her hopes valid

Can be left to speculation
