Against Hope
We tossed and turned on thorns
We fled and loved
When the rains came it put out the fires
But not the embers of love that burned
in our hearts
we ran far and wide on empty hearts
we raged and burned
never wanting to be turned from each other
but when the cold hand of separation pulled
we gave in knowing that tomorrow holds hope for a reunion
we hoped and wished on fortune
we pushed and pulled
praying that the winds will carry us through
but when the tide turned and we drifted into each other’s arm
we realised that our best years are those we spent apart
