Loving You

For a third
    of my life
I’ve wondered
    what it would be like
to love you.

So far
    even with all
the ups and downs,
    loving you
has been very vital to me.

The dream
    of loving you
and of you loving me
    has provided so much
of the energy I’ve lived on.

We’ve come such
    a long way
that I’ll not give up
    on this dream
unless you’re the one

that awakens me from it.
