Abide

Drift with me on the face of the sea. The sweet sky is too bright for us, the tides are tempting and your eyes are gleaming. Listen to my heart, it whispers your name. A gentle melody and a tender tone. The piano notes are the recital of our minds. The duet is our matching breaths and my devotion is singing. I'll write you endless symphonies. I wish to wake up every morning tangled to you. I dream of indulging in your glassy eyes for hours before getting out of bed. 


Every single detail about you astounds me. When you're sad, I want to be the one that lifts your sorrow and brings you peace. When you're overwhelmed with joy, I want to be the one you share it with. I want you to see yourself through my eyes, where you are loved, knowingly or not. I want you to witness how your little imperfections still pull me closer to you. I want you to know that these smiles are yours to keep. Reigning supreme over me, you deserve to be treated like a queen. You're afraid, but so am I.  


Read the words I picked just for you. Your loveliness inspires to be my poetry.The elegant pages go on evermore and the expression of my life is laid down in an array of writings. There is something unfathomably calm and soothing about the idle belief of an eternity. That wild and wide endless expanse of time. Set out so very neatly before you, waiting to be embraced.


Though you must know, I won't be here for long. It is beyond me, for time has not been kind to me.
