Stairways to heaven
I took the stairways to heaven the first day I met you,
Floated to skies, though you were too high to reach.
Your light was bright, shining far away,
I stretched my hand, but you slipped further away.
Yet, I hoped, and waited.
I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat,
Restless in a sea of thoughts,
Each one pulling me deeper,
Deeper into dreams of you.
I lived in the spaces between breaths,
Between moments that seemed endless,
Waiting…
For a sign,
For a word,
For a text that never came,
Something to show me I wasn’t alone....
