Love Missed

The clouds turned intense
Trying to mirror the look on his face
In an attempt to ease him, she made him a paper boat
Tried to rub her enthusiasm on him, she intervened, "let's race!"


He grunted, rolled his eyes, got up and walked away
Hit by failure, she retorted to her little shell
His emotions had rubbed off on her and stayed, but he had left
There, she mirrored the weather, as the rain fell


Years passed by, much in the same fashion
Her love for her hero pushed her to try again
She had to bring back the sunshine she saw in stills
A million more attempts, but all in vain


Hopelessly hopeful, she tried again
For a quarter century, but then, hope lost hope
Now he's all salt, no pepper,
His eager eyes search for his li'l sunshine with hope


But today, the sun shines in another land
And she doesn't even know
That daddy would see her love
Eventually, he'd know
