[what i hope for you]

 

be fair to young hearts that pull at your thoughts

and be sweet in good favor to those who deserve you

replace tabs of ripped flesh with pieces so tender

and kiss the lids of loving eyes that only for you exist

write her the words you've been hesitant to say

carefully choose phrasing that won't mislead or confuse

she's been waiting for this moment from you

for pain burns the love she feels but can not show

and now as you leave here, you leave her too

fairness to blind love is demanded

for the heart strings you pull upon unsturdy whims

take longer to heal and never regain their patient strength

and young girls in young love will remember these times

comparisons grind deep as dust settles down your path

so be fair to her heart as you tell her goodbye

kiss her cheek sweetly and wipe the tears from her eyes

please remember what i say as she watches you leave

for her story begins when you finally turn her page
