Bound

I saw things for how they could be not how they are.
They were only dreams inside my head,
and I told myself stop wishing,
Because whatever could’ve been
Dwells now among things that are dead.


But you see springs of eternal hope kept my love alive,
and so my heart fought for a long time.
I kept seeing us in the future somewhere,
happy some place where you were mine  

And I would make you laugh and you would make me smile,
we would hold hands and talk,
And just sit in silence for awhile.

The love between the two of us enough,
enough to put the past behind,
Enough to forget the wrongs done by hearts before,
enough to quite our pain filled minds.

Life is often not what we think it should be, hearts can be so blind.
We are left chained to regrets, fearing pain and failure,
hearts chained to the past and still remain the ties that bind .
