The Boy Who Drank Dreams

Like always, ever so,

I'm wondering how you are

What you've been up to

Where your feet have carried you

How many times have you smiled today

I hope many

How I wish to be the sun that shines on your face

The air that brushes your skin

The oxygen that fills your lungs

Life surrounds you the way I wish I could

I blow kisses and hope the wind carries them to you

Little letters full of my sorrow

They tell you I'm sorry

What I wouldn't give to see that smile

Your freckles

Those honey eyes

I know how much they've poured

I hope your heart has healed

Sealed with gold

Years later, I'm here still thinking about those days when I felt free

Our worries left at home as we walked on the beach

I watched you shine

The brightest in that small town, full of so many faces

How all I wanted to see was yours

Watching your feet carry you down the road next to me

Wondering what was going on in that mind of yours

Wondering where you've been and where you're going

How I am no longer at your side

All I can do is count the smiles I bore witness to

like always, ever so

New days are born but mine aren't as complete

tell me you miss me so I can say the same

Until that day, I'll not stop writing little letters sealed with stamps

Sorrow and wet eyes
