In my mind
In my mind,we are already married.
Maybe with a child or two,
living together,
keeping the love alive forever.
But we are not,
not married and not together.
You are a balm to my lonely heart,
my shelter when I have no other place to run to anymore.
My heart whispers your name as I open my eyes,
to the soothing rays at dawn.
It is a chant deep within me,
that my soul invokes relentlessly.
I will not be parted from the comfort of memories.
Will I still have this same yearning,
in a year or ten?
My hair will be gray by ten, my face creazed.
Even then I cannot imagine waking up without the thought of you,
your solid hands in mine,
living the dream we never hope to wake up from.
You encompass my whole being,
our souls merged together,
my warmth keeping the fire alive in our hearts.
I can only be grateful to this present moment,
when I can pour my heart out to you unashamedly.
Tomorrow might bring ugly surprises,
but as for now,
I revel in the beautiful thing that is us.
