HOPE NEVER DIES I spent years searching. Seeking, never finding. Wondering through live without a guide, lost and confused. Oh sure, sometimes I though, that is it! Only to find myself wrong. Other times I would go... could it be? But then Id let it slip out of my grasp. Mistakes? Ive made a few. Good choices? Fewer still. I am not alone, others search. Seeking, never finding. Sometimes more lost and confused than I. Their choices often just as wrong, Their success or at times worse than mine. Things that make us cry, things that make us laugh. At times we make so many bad choices, that we want to stop trying. Not make a choice at all. But what if we pass up a golden opportunity? I stopped searching one day. Worn out at the chase, tired of failure. Gave in to acceptance, cut my losses and called it quits. Then I looked around and there it was. I had known her for years, but never gave it a chance. Reflecting I realized that every moment of my past had brought joy. That what I was seeking, was already there. But I waited too long and she slipped away. I had lost once again. Ive spent my life on one huge losing streak. Having never tasted victory, I grew used to the pains. Again I am not alone, others have done this too. How many times have we given a stranger a chance? Yet over looked those whom we called a friend? After so many loses in our lives, Have we stopped trying? We search... we give up. Lost have gone away our hopes. Accepting defeat as our fates. Hearts torn, our minds left in chaos and confusion. We spend our nights wondering if we will ever be loved. Will we ever find peace? What if he or she was there all along? Overlooked, never considered, hidden, but always there. We never gave them the chance, but what if they were the one? We ponder and reflect, the memories flurish. The smiles they brought to our lives over the years now gone away. The moments they held us up, Days that they came to our defense, giving you support when you needed it and sometimes even when you didnt. Were they the ones that stood up for you? Told you how great you were and told others to leave you be. They lended you their ear, gave you help without desiring anything in return. And yet you never considered.... them. They always seem to be the most forgiving of your faults. So are they the last ones that you give a chance to? Would they not be more gentle with your heart? What if all along, through all the years, they were the one? And we simply over looked what was before our own eyes. I remember the smiles, bright upon her lips. The days my heart was at peace. Even the moments that I floated on the clouds, simply because I had a friend. And yet I never considered.... them. But when all is lost, the days are forgotten, they once more return. In our hearts, it returns, because.... HOPE NEVER DIES.
