With me

I am different shades and hues of earthy tones and sunlit skies.

You are the color in the shadows of waters that pass us by,

Darling why do you have tears in your eyes?

Did you see the doves above us? Just now.

Look how they fly.

We could go up there, you know.

Leave this all behind.

There’s so much more to see in the lives we lead,

So much more than these busy streets.

Fly with me, why don’t you?

Keep me close, I won’t ever let you go —

Not again.

I wonder if this time we could truly be more than friends.

We’ll have to wait and see,

Sit patiently with me.

There’s no rush to spread our tired wings,

We can sit here and admire the birds that sore far beyond the trees.

As long as you stay beside me,

That’s all I’ll ever need.
