I Hope So

I HOPE SO


What about now 
you are suffering 
and know she is not, 
you are locked 
and she is out, 
that your fears have knocked you down, 
and yet you know she's not a coward? 


What will happen to you, sir, 
now that your pain knows no limits 
like her who's knowing no limits 
now that she is not in pain? 


What now that you cry 
and she won't know, 
that you know 
that she won't cry 
and that you'll ever think about her 
yet you'll never own her thoughts? 


Tell me sir what happens now 
that you know she will never dream 
yet she is all you've dreamed about! 


And now that you both know 
what goes on there deep inside 
and that you see the truth 
that lies in the smallest lie . . . 
tell me, now, sir, 
are you finally happy?
