My whole life I've lived in
A dreadful, deadweight suspense,
Waiting for the other shoe to fall--
For something to confirm my cynicism.
I always held a punishing hope
That someday happiness might
Remember I exist, but
My pessimistic nature is ever reinforced.
But yet, you're here
Hopeful as I but as cautious
(With everything to gain--
And everything to fear)
Maybe it is (or isn't) the punishing hope again,
But somehow you've given me
Every reason to believe I'm finally noticed.
