ONE THOUSAND YEARS (Poem)

 If I could lie beside you, and softly stroke your hair
​While worlds break down around me, I’d think that to be fair
To be there in your presence, to kiss your day good night
To feel the warmth pour from you, cast by your inner light

I'd feel so complete that,
it would fill my inner core
Except to hold you in my arms,
one thousand years or more

If I could look in your eyes, and hold your hands in mine
Whilst flames arise and worlds collapse, I’d think that would be fine
To hug you tight in sweet embrace, you bound so close to me
My eyes would well with one love, as all that I could see

I’d feel a completeness,
that I’d never known before
Except to hold you in my arms,
one thousand years or more
 
If I could hear your sweet voice, in the early morning light
The sun could fall from heaven, and I’d think that’d be all right
To hold the love you give me, to know how much you care
Gives life its’ very essence, and more would not be fair

I'd feel so complete that,
it would fill my inner core
Except to hold you in my arms,
one thousand years or more
 
If I could hear your laughter, dance with you in the rains
The sounds of life could perish, I’d still hear sweet refrains
To hold your heart’s emotions, in the center of my sole
Would fill me to the very edge, and make my spirit whole

I’d feel a completeness,
that I’d never known before
Except to hold you in my arms,
​one thousand years or more
