Jest

I hope that you don’t desert me
And that my feelings don’t desert you.
I hope that whatever we have may be,
And whatever it is we share is true.
I hope my heart is not the only one that beats twice as fast
And that you know whatever was done is now in the past.
I actually feel truly happy,
Which I hope is not a jest,
Played by life on some hopeless feeling quest.
I hope I am not the only one anxious at the end of the day,
Knowing there’s a possibility for my stress to be left astray.
Or just to see your beautiful face,
With the eyes that always make my mind race.
I hope you feel just as strong,
For this one I don’t feel wrong
Which I hope is not a jest,
Played by life on some hopeless feeling quest.
For I am to you,
Like the sky is to blue 
And you are to me,
Like the flower is to a bee
You compliment me in our differences
And somehow surpass all the undiscovered preferences.
So I put my blind trust to you,
Hoping that whatever it is we share is true
