MILES

you are near a cliff

your eyes are reaching out towards the horizons
gazing at the heart of your dreams

the planets align
the stars shine
the sound decides to eradicate itself from the world
leaving just the sound of your breath
and the whispers of your beating chest 

and your dreams stare back at you
with those eyes that you love
it radiates and warms the ice that once stabbed at your lungs
it makes you breathe 
it feels amazing to breathe

yet what is separating you are the miles 
the tens of thousands of miles 
just miles upon miles upon miles upon MILES 

....

of pain 
of sorrow 
of longing 

you reach out your hand as they reach out theirs
those eyes are bright 
brilliant 
amazing
but they long 
they long for you 
and you long for them 

...and you wait 
you continue to hold out 

because within that sparkle is the dreams you are dying for 
because within that glitter is the sun that melted away your sorrows 
because within that light is the thanksgiving they are handing to you 

...and so i continue to hold on 
because my dreams 
the love of my life 
continue to hold on
