World of Longing

July04

We stand here today
I had such high expectations
In a world full of pain
I never thought I’d be alone
And in a world of love
The way he looks at me
Our world of longing
I’ll never be the perfect father
Doubting and hating ourselves
I’m not pretty enough
But admiring others from afar
Her smile
No matter our circumstances
Is there something more?
We crave something better
My dreams could never make it here
Our lives are fatally flawed
I want to change the world
Chasing after the dreams
I wish things would go back to normal
Of a life perfectly made
I just want to fly
