Poems for Her

Cease the Longing

I know that i'll never know
how to be someone you miss

to feel like you are
wanted by someone unknown

to feel like you were the moon
and the stars in their universe

their hot coffee in the morning
or the sunset in their afternoon

i long to be that someone
for you-the one you need

but that's too impossible
it seems so unbelievable

so i'll just sit here and watch
your life in pictures as i used to

happiness is a choice
so i think it's enough to see you.
