IF WE ARE TO BE APART
Shimmering jewels showering the night sky
I’ve seen this radiance once too many before
Glowing from your eyes when you smiled
And glistening from your tears when you cried
Breaking down into pieces, you fall deeper into hurting
I stood there, towering over you, your lifeless eyes boring into mine
For you, I couldn’t do anything but watch
The dull throb of my heart echoing yours
Feeling your warmth near mine
I could almost forget the pain of our love
How did it turn out this way?
I should’ve cherished you more; maybe then I would’ve understood
The day of parting has come, at least try to smile
Let’s meet up again someday, you whispered to me
Your angelic smile came my way
And then I realized how far we’ve really come
If we are to be apart—then that will be
When our love will shine the brightest
The uncertainty and anguish of not being by each other’s side
In distance we’ll learn the lesson
Look up, to the endless universe of possibilities and chances
To grow, to learn, to love, to live
Even when we are separate, it’s enough for me
To know that we are under that same sky
I love you more each day
I miss you more each day
The feelings overwhelms my fluttering heart
Day and night, I revel in its soothing presence
If we are to be apart—then that will be
When our love shines the strongest
Testing the powers of time and space
It will explicitly and undoubtedly shine the brightest
I watched that crystal clear dream, the untarnished eternity
Silently looming over the night sky
Wondering when the time will come
For it to finally transform into reality
....Love, Kellydlc
