So Many Ways

With you, I've found
So many ways to end up happy
And even more to fall along the way.

Foolish plans aside,
I long for you--
A future you. Us.

Oh that I could
Know your heart.
Where, love, do we stand?

Once you were mine,
Eyes shining bright,
A glow about your face.

And now... Nothing.
Is it wrong to hope for
A future where I didn't die trying?
