“The hope it is”

“The hope it is”
Here I go falling like I’ve fallen before,
doing things I promised I wouldn’t do anymore,
offering you my home and my heart,
not knowing if I should stop or start.
But tell me one thing before I go on,
before I write another mistaken love song,
have I finally found all that I’ve missed,
or is this nothing but the hope it is?
When we walk together I try not to crowd you,
but when I take a step back you say there’s room for two.
I can’t guess the meaning of what you won’t say,
if you don’t want me to leave, you must want me to stay.
Is this a love I can hold and kiss,
or is this nothing but the hope it is?
I kiss your cheek and hold your hand,
and wonder if I am mistaken again.
Do the feelings I feel really exist,
or is this nothing but the hope it is?
Is this a seed that is going to grow?
Tell me just once so I will know.
Can I believe any of this
is more than the hope it is?
