Do you ever want to be,
The apple in one's eye.
Their light at the end of the tunnel,
Their cloud's silver lining.
Do you ever wish for love,
A love that conquers all,
A story for the ages,
Where the 'happy' is forever.
Do you ever crave a gaze,
That anchors you in place?
A quiet hand to hold your hand,
Time cannot erase.
Do you ever close your eyes and hope,
That someone else feels the same,
To wonder if they look to the stars,
And whisper your unknown name.
Do they ever wish to find,
In a world so vast and wide,
A love to guide them through the dark,
And glow from deep inside?
