What I would like

It's not a day or a night that I would like,
Or an afternoon or a midnight that I would prefer,
it's more of a lifetime or an eternity
where you and I could spend our lives together

where we could share our views with one another-
where we could talk endlessly
without shaking our heads into no's like two strangers
who have no patience nor interest
to hear each others side of our story

It's more like I would prefer to imagine our conversations
as a bonfire near the beach
And when we have nothing else to talk
We could stroll down the shores - while holding hands,
in search for wood
as if a few branches could fire up our words
into an everlasting conversation
that'll keep us warm for the rest of our nights.

And during the days, when the bonfire has been
extinguished, (because I'm afraid that at some point we won't find
wood in the shores ) - we could walk our separate ways
into the city then into a store, or into the forests
knowing that throughout the day,
the waves from the ocean will remain in our hearts
ebbing our paths back into each other arms.

Or at least until our rendezvous
re-ignites the ashes of our previous conversations
into something speakable

Then we will sit - we will sit on the sand,
watching the sun set in our eyes
And we will laugh, and we will kiss,
and we will look at the bonfire
disappeared into the night
as the sun rises in our hearts

then the unspoken will become always speakable.
