And we thought one day
we would fly together
Climb a tall mountain
Collapse at the summit
Gasping for breath
Drinking in the world around
In all its mighty splendour.
Fight over a chocolate bar
and snuggle up tight
to beat the biting cold
outside and inside us.
And we thought we could be alone
and wander the meadows
and dreamlike deserts
Scour the seabed for corals
Race down ravines
Comb the caves for hidden treasure
Call the sky our own
And on a misty winter morn
Go seeking each other
With a bagful of stories
A head full of pictures
And a heart full of passion
And we thought we could live for ourselves
And no other
And never have to be together
to feel each other, see each other
taste, touch, torment
or even smile together.
We never will.
Just like we will never
Curl up on a couch and
watch a movie together
except in our minds?
Never do laundry together
Never cook a meal together
Or brush our teeth together
But we always will
Hold each other
When we cry
Beat each other when we lie
Kiss each other as we sigh
Worlds away
There to stay
The price we pay
to never betray
Who we really are.
And perhaps on one magic day
When the world stands still
And we are each truly alone
As we always wanted to be
We will wake up and have coffee together.
Senselessly strong, scorching
Silent, soothing coffee.
Together.
Yes, together.

You have a touching style of writing

the innocence was brought out with the rhyme, and so so picturesque!
That was beautiful. All the way through and nicely set up. Beautiful!
Lovely lines. Okay even though it was hard to pick, here goes.

In my opinion, those were the best. Love is something that you just can't stop writing about, can you? :> Good for you. (You=plural)
Vertigo, Yashita, Raven: thanks so much, feels nice
the thing inside me: yes...?
sanity starved: high praise coming from you, hadn't really thought about the set up, things just happen.
individualist: easier to write about it than be there I guess.
That's bloody good. It really is!
Romance without saccharine. Very rare. Wonderful.
J.A.P.
hundred years and still the same thought. the same love. over and over and over again. you've made me what i am today. a broken guitar.
death: you made yourself
jap: will remember to inject lots of honey in the next one
ghostoftomjoad:i'm stumped
Hmm... :)
Start with a dream on the top of a mountain and, before you know, you are sipping hot coffee, together. Everything was just right.
Hmm... Are smileys allowed?
I loved the imagery of a couple watching Nature as if she had put on her finest garments just for them.
