#YOWO What I want


I want the breeze in my hair

To look up and see the outstretched arms of the wood and oak

I want to see the little puffs of white outlining the sky

I want to look to my side a see pushing through the cracks

A stream of heavenly gold touching my skin

I want to be able to step through the gold and onto an oasis of blue

Crystal and sinking between my toes as the cold sweeps in around me

I want more than an oasis though but a get away

I want the company of amazing faces and never a goodbye

No tears, no drama and no regrets

 

But what I want is not what I need

I sit here awake in my dreams 

And what I want is no were reachable from this point

Because what I want is a place far away

I live in the here and now 

Breathing in every second

Because I want those around me to be in that place to

So come and have no fear

Because heaven is were we belong

And that is what I want
