Cautiously Optimistic
Cautiously Optimistic
He looks at her, she looks at me
Eyebrows slightly raise, I understand, agree
I’ve been around for ages, I was made to last
At first my hopes were shiny bright, but that was in the past
I have some of lost my sparkle, I have seen better days
Hold memories I cherish, though some vanished in the haze
Thought I was an emblem, a token of their dreams
But people are so fickle and changeable it seems
Hammered now and polished, I’ve acquired a different size
Placed into a little box, she eagerly unties
I have changed hands so many times, will I or won’t I stay
But I am cautiously optimistic…that they will name the day
