A POEM | LONGING | STRANGERS | JUST ONCE :)
Just The Two of Us
Maybe in another universe~
Can we go somewhere
where no one else is around us,
where the wind feels pleasant,
and it’s only the two of us?
Somewhere like a library,
where we steal glances at each other
and smile when our eyes meet,
where there’s only the two of us.
Somewhere by the sea,
with a beautiful view ahead of us,
yet looking only at each other,
with no one between us.
Perhaps we could just talk
about random things,
get to know each other better,
just the two of us?
Perhaps we could sit together,
listening to each other’s voices,
gazing at each other for a while,
just the two of us?
Could we lie beneath the sky,
look up at the stars,
and count them as if we really could,
just the two of us?
Could we begin our journey together,
visit the places we’re headed for,
and try different foods,
just the two of us?

We could go to a festival,
with little gifts all around;
stand together, sharing ice cream,
and watch the fireworks begin,
brightening the night above us.
Let’s go to a coffee shop.
You order your favorite coffee,
and I’ll order the same.
We’ll sit there for hours
and stay by each other’s side
for the rest of the day,
just the two of us?
Can I come over to your place,
so we can cook something together,
sit in the lounge,
and watch your favorite movie?
Or could you come over to mine,
so I can show you an album
of the pictures of you I’d saved
before I knew we might one day become strangers?
And when the evening grows quiet,
we won’t need to fill the silence.
The world can wait beyond the door,
I’ll be right where I want to be,
beside you.
Perhaps we could walk our way home,
slowly and silently, side by side.
And when it’s time to part,
we’d linger just a little longer,
neither of us wanting
to say goodbye.
If the night must end,
let it wait a little while;
there’s still so much I want to tell you,
and one more smile I want to see,
could we stay a little longer,
just the two of us?
I’d take out my camera
and take one picture of us together,
one last moment from our journey,
one last memory of us.
I hope we meet again,
walking in the same direction,
just once more,
just the two of us.
