A Longing

If I were a bird,
With you I would fly,
Guide you away for eternity,
Away to paradise.

If I were a free spirit,
With you I would roam,
Watch over you all night and day,
and shield you from the cold.

But, I know I am none of these,
I am just me alone,
Just another one who loved you,
And dreamt of somewhat more…..

I know I am not what I long to be,
And sometimes, I just pretend.
For in my life, all that matters to me,
Is your love, till the end.
