Name it if you will
Her are eyes are red and swollen
Every day I have wondered why
Eyes that never care to meet mine
Hold a tale enough to break the sky
Each passing day I have watched
That face to see more than a scowl
And the wait was worth it to see
A glimpse of joy hidden by the cowl
Passing months have taught me more
Yet there's still so much I wish I knew
Of a girl who loved the pond by the Oak
And her airheaded little sister too
All the while, behind my back
My heart has gone to a place unknown
Lost and wondering; mesmerized
By a possibility, cunning fate has shown
The day this whim invaded my mind
Stretch beyond the lengths of Nile
As whims bloom into desire; desperate,
I dream of waking up to your smile
