level fourteen love

A simple love poem - but love isn't so simple, is it?

count the stars – i’ll wait forever
always too many but never enough
i’d leave the world behind if you’d come too
(and i’d give up a lifetime for one night with you)
like early astronomers knew the night skies
i want to look into your eyes –
and see the soul that lies within
and know every freckle that graces your skin
i wish I could feel your lips against mine
and guitar-callused fingers, moving in time
to the only music i want to hear
the beating of your heart

…wish you were near.
