This world seems so big
but really is so small.
I can reach the other side of it with only my phone.
But I cannot make the person I want appear in front of me.
The space around me feels larger than the sky with its endless reaches.
Winds stream through my soul and chill my sense of peace.
Like trying to hold a cloud or capture a ray of the sun, so will go on my desires.
But not my dreams.
The height of this boundless, empty box is only so lonely because I have known such fulfillment.
I can only know the longing of a hundred heartaches because I have felt the joy of a thousand lovers.
Not a heart strapped in chains but one free to soar.
Though minutes pass like days I keep tight to the string that connects us.
No element of time or distance can sway the path from where our hearts swing.
To kick your feet up and feel the excitement of the ride is why the Earth turns.
It moves for us so that we might live in its currents.
To feel the tides against our feet under the shine of a sugar moon.
To unite in harmony with two souls that exist as one.
To dream.
Explore.
To laugh in each other’s arms like children in the Summer.
This world is so big,
but together
we are even bigger.
