Long View

There's a part of me in Longview.

~ Long View ~

 

It’s a long view from the seclusion of a solitary soul

One that holds out the seeker of her treasured enigmas

And yet she waits…

For the one whom is willing to go to the depths of her life

Holding his breath until the final jewel is pulled from the extremity of her soul

Guarding each single-one with an iron-clad locket of true uniqueness

Never willing to reveal the painstaking secrets it took to solve the mystery

 ~

It’s a long view from where I stand

I can only see so far with these eyes I was given, but I still stare in your direction

And yet I wait…

For the day when your heart says it’s okay for me to try and open it

And sometimes I can feel it tugging at me in its confusion

Not sure if I’m the one who should safe guard it but not sure if he is the one either

But what it doesn’t know is what depths I’m willing to go

And how long I’m willing to hold my breath from now…until?

I can see you slowly turning your eyes in my direction each passing day

So…

Lock onto me and let’s take a journey to the corners of our universes

As I explore you and you explore me

And we’ll take the long view around.
