Loving You

I wonder what loving you would feel like

Would it be just like breathing

Filling me with life

Or the feeling of jumping off a cliff

Finding yourself flying instead

Is it tender like a waltz

Near the last call

Or passionate like a night after years apart

Making up for lost time

Would loving you make me worry

If I am worthy

Or with your love would I never doubt

Would we be the two that meet as equals

On the cusp of true love

Would I be able to feel it

Like the salty wind from the sea

Through a cottage window

Would I sense your closeness

Of your waves crashing towards me

Would loving you sound as beautiful as this poem

And be hopeful as its final stanza

Would loving you be a trip to the stars

On an ordinary afternoon

How I wonder if I were to be so lucky

To be the one who shares your love

I would cherish it

Loving, feeling, running, dancing

Taking in every moment I may love you
