How could I miss something I haven’t had yet
How could I miss you without knowing your touch
How could I feel you the moment I wake up
Like this journey is for your arms
Yet feeling the places in between
If only we’d just open up
We are both so bare and raw
Yet we don’t say the things we want too
all my missing and familiar parts
With the choice of being vulnerable
We dance and stage it up
If we’d only remember that’s not what I love
You’d remember it too
It’s as simple as, as simple does
We’ve spent to much time filling the space up
All I want is to know you closer
Be closer than the words and skies above
I know I haven’t had you yet
Yet you’re on the top of my tongue
Like your kiss is a sworn promise of titled doves
How do I have you, yet I search for you all the same, the best I’d ever know,
I carry you with me in all I do
If only we’d put aside our distractions
Whether I want to admit it’s true
I madly do, I completely choose
It’s like second nature now, don’t you see
All that surrounds me is an image of me
Picturing a world with you
To build a place that leads me to your eyes
A word, an address, that will bridge that paradigm
If you’re doing the same as I hope you do
Then it’s inevitable that true love will be so
Patience is a virtue, may I see the day it holds through, So I try to breathe in and out
Still feelings of wasted time not existing with you
Still thoughts drifting like the boat I swim up river too
May a set of hands know a love I dream up in my mind
I’ll do my part, if you promise to do yours
Doing nothing outside of being
happily diving.
Your heart has already reached mine.
It’s a matter of time.
We’re already together all the while.
May it be what it’s meant to be.
I hope and say it so.
