I would give you
The first thought of each day.
A handful of new dreams
Unconditional and brave,
A morning star over the ocean
Shining upon waves.

I would give you
Countless kisses scattered,
Placed strategically
Between your freckles and sorrows,
A safe refuge in my arms,
And tenderness written in my eyes.

I would give you
My love,
Ambivalent but hopeful,
Broken but still wholesome,
Defying destiny to be by your side.
Oscillating amidst lights and shadows,
We’ll lose count of the days that followed
Every time that we said good-bye.

I would give you all that
And my wings to fly,
If you would find the courage,
If you give me the chance.

A.V.O.
