In the midst of a tangled present
and an unknown future,
I close my eyes
and dream of you…
………
A distant sunset.
Hands interlocked.
Walking together, on free ground.
Your voice, my music.
Your smile, my warmth.
You soul, my peace.
………
And then…
I wake up — gasping for air.
Alone,
but I do not feel lonely.
.
They may reign over your freedom,
but they forgot about
THE WILD TYPHOON
that is my love, for you.
.
If you feel forsaken,
I’m the shadow behind you.
If your tears come pouring down,
I’m the pillow against your face.
If your mind struggles to sleep,
I’m the melody inside your head.
If you forget how to smile,
I am the Sun’s eternal beams,
and the twinkle of every radiant star.
Look up, my sweet butterfly,
and smile.
You are never alone.
You are the moon, I am the sun.
We’ll see each other, at least once a day.
The universe guarantees it.
.
I am always
right there with you.
My heart is wherever you are.
