my mind is full of bottomless questions,
but the blurry answers remain hazy;
all my dreams end with storybook endings,
but I only sigh, and think "if only"..

the future is quickly approaching,
yet I have no defense against it;
so many wishes, yet so much doubt -
all I can do is watch the clock tick.

as the future takes each step closer,
I pray a short and simple prayer,
begging for a simple guarantee
of my happily ever after.
