The sand and the sky || A collection of poems

2 • august

i often find myself
smiling at my screen

and i wonder
what it would be like
if you were here

i wonder how it would be
to feel your golden hue
wrap around my heart

i think about how it would feel
to hold you
in a tight embrace
as you capture my soul
and mark it yours

somewhere, in the multiverse,
we are there;
together

a branch in time where i pass you
and we both smile
and go on with our day,
unaware of how much we mean to each other

maybe we are two rocks on a cliff
just waiting for the elements to carry us to our next destination

or perhaps we met in school,
and i broke the silence that enveloped us
as we sat in our assigned seats
for the first time

in another life
i would have loved doing the laundry with you
every other day

and i'd have found so much meaning
in your mesmerising eyes

i would hold onto you
until the end of time

but here i am,
and all i can find
is acceptance

and i hope
to one day
experience all your worst mondays

and celebrate your best saturdays

i hope
that in this universe,
as much as the others,
it will be you and i
