I hoped

 

I hoped to run into you,

Run into you in a crowded street, 

Run into you in a different city,

Run into you in a different country, 

I hoped to see the flicker of recognition in your eyes,

I hoped you would see the adoration in mine,

I hoped for years of agony to fade,

I hoped for a day when we would be us again,

And I hoped, 

I hoped for an alternate universe.
