Wings

This is a poem I wrote when I was feeling very down and missing my lover with every shred of my heart. I wished, at that moment, that I had wings so I could fly and see her.

If I had wings,
I would have the power to see the world in a way that very few do.
But the only power that I want to behold,
Would be me flying out to you.

Although the distance may not be very much,
It's a long way's away when I am longing for your touch.
Right now, I feel so empty and weak,
But my strength returns to me, simply when you speak.

I know that soon we will see each other again,
But until that day comes nigh,
I will keep my head up, and my eyes set to the sky.
The stars are out and the moon is bright,
But no matter of luster can match your light.

I need you in my life, whether I admit it or not,
And through all these struggles,
I'm learning,
That I sure do love you a lot.

The days are long and the nights feel longer,
But throughout the days I feel our love growing stronger.
You're the one for me, and I know it's true,
Because the only one I can see for me,
Is you.
