Breathe

Unknown

The stars beam brightly back at me along with the moon,

And I begin to wonder,

That just maybe you are also admiring this beautiful scene of nighttime.

I begin to wonder,

What you are doing at this hour.

If you are traveling to the ends of the world,

Or, maybe, seeking for love in this big world of ours,

Or, perhaps, searching for the meaning of life.

But,

What I really wonder is if I ever crossed your mind.

Am I something more or am I simply here to fill a void of yours,

The thought never leaves my mind.

My thoughts wonder aimlessly,

For they have no boundaries.

They travel as far as the east is from the west,

And oh so many are based upon you.

But,

I'm afraid that it isn't the same for you.

I know I want so much more than you want,

And it's so hard to stay hidden.

If only we could open up,

If only we could express the deeply hidden thoughts,

Maybe what occurs in my dreams would become reality.

But no matter how many times others claim we are perfect for each other,

I will never believe it.

If it was the truth, wouldn't our love already be bound together, promising to last forever?

Oh, love, if only you knew.

The days I stare at the night sky

And hope that maybe there is a future for us,

I can't help myself but smile,

Even though it hurts because I know nothing will ever further for us.

The days I stare at the beautiful sun,

I think of how you always light up each of my days,

Always happy even though you are different from anyone I've ever met.

The days the rain pours down outside,

And I let myself go and dance carelessly in the rain,

I imagine of how much more amazing it would be with you there,

Dancing by my side.

The days I sit and admire the rainbow after the rain,

I think of how my colorful life mixes with yours in such a strange but intriguing way.

The days I wait to watch the beautiful sunrise,

I am reminded of how each day is a new day,

A new day with you.

The days my eyes take in the beautiful sunset,

I think of how when each day is over, it is one day closer to finally being with you.

The days my eyes end up looking to the sky thoughtlessly,

I am reminded of you,

Knowing that across all the oceans,

Across all the distance,

Across all the separation,

You still are looking back at the same beautiful sky.

And while I admire the beauty of the blue skies and white clouds,

I am overwhelmed with dreams of all the possibilities,

And I am filled with the love and joy I have grown to realize that comes along with knowing you.
