I love it! A wonderful poem. Simply wonderful. Very positive and hopeful and enduring. It makes me think of a snippet of that old song by the Beatles... something about, "...hide your love away." ?? If I recall the lyrics correctly, it question or chastises someone for "hiding their love away." Perhaps humans do that. Is it intentional, unintentional, or both at certain times? If both, then what are the circumstances that compel one over the other?
Hmm... I don't think I would ever conceal my love intentional unless I was to shy to show it :-)

Edit- No matter how wide they'll might be.- That doesnt make sense- Should it be how wide THEY might be?
I love that last stanza.

Given the context and the surrounding thoughts and words, it should read as Raven suggested. But, that's just my opinion. You are the author, Amanda. However, you may find the world of native English-speaking readers will find it off-putting (as they say.)

Clouds can maybe cover it up (creative license but some english critics would pick at the 'can maybe')

This is another good piece by Amanda. A lucky person to be receiving the love portrayed in this piece. My only concern is that "maybe" in the last line should be may be. Other than that, spectacular job.
Happy writing,
