I’ve seen your face
In an old picture,
And maybe in a dream or two.
We were out watching
Fireflies in my backyard.
I don’t remember everything you said,
But I can remember the intricate
Dances of the sparks
And the taste of your lips.
It’s funny, how I can imagine what
Your voice
Sounds like,
Without ever hearing it.
They’ll think I’m crazy,
But that shouldn’t mean anything.
I already know I’m a little
Insane at times.
I never believed
Something like this could happen.
I mean, really—
How could you
Care for someone so deeply
If you haven’t even
Heard them
Felt them
Looked into their eyes
Said the words out loud?
When I tell them
They’ll say, “How can you know him
If he’s an entire ocean away?!”
But I do know you, Trevor, I do!
I could go into a detailed list
Of all the things I know about you
But that would make this far too long.
So let me wrap this up
By saying, it hurts
But all I need to do
Is look up at the sky
And I’ll feel better, because
Even though you’re a whole ocean away
You’re still looking up at the same sky as I am.
Someday
I’ll be able to
Hear you
Feel you
Look into your eyes
Say the words out loud.
“I love you”
And I’ll wait for you, Trevor.
I’ll wait for you.
