I look on you as a distant ember
A flicker of light spiralling in the air
Untouchable and unreachable
I let my fingers reach out to grasp you
Yet when I touch, you are no longer there.
To touch you, would be to extinguish you
Yet I want you to know how I feel
To accept your love and hold it up high
Lighting the way through the darkest of storms
Until we reach our peace, in togetherness.
You are so beautiful in all that you do
You epitomize all that is graceful in this, our world
The stars twinkle because you encourage them
And I let your effervescence sparkle as it
Adds colour, to my otherwise, black and white book.
I am nothing without you, a cog without a wheel
I love you unreservedly, from the bottom of my heart
And I know that you care in your special way
As your distant ember rises, I am yours
Forever I will chase you, never to catch you
But one day, a part of you, I will become.
