Waves upon our shores

 

If only just for tonight

could we block out

the outside and slip

into our overgrowing dreams.

Let the feelings take us where

we wish to be,

let go of the fear

that sometimes

creeps into a day, and sway

under the midnight rain.

 

We could

solidify feelings,

hold them tightly in our hands,

let go of old memories

we never wished to carry.

We make love

in a toast to tomorrow.

A promise to brighten

the futures

that will come our way.

 

And if you dream

of butterflies

we could sit in moonlight

counting those

long goodbyes

and throw them

into the hungry night.

For our futures

will be filled with

hellos held forever

in our hearts and minds

 

For if only for this night

we could close our doors

and just let ourselves

be waves upon

each other's shores,

caressing the hope

that sleeps in our eyes,

then maybe,

we will be alright

for a lifetime or more.
