More Than i Do Now




I’ve never wanted you more than I do now
and I haven’t yet seen your face but I want to
I haven’t seen you smile but I know what it would look like
It would look like this:
A million stars in an evening sky staring right at me
A little child on an open field running fearlessly
It would look like rushing waves on an empty beach,
it would look like you’re falling in love with me
It would look like the colours that form when day and night meet,
it would look like unimaginable peace

I’ve never wanted you more than I do now, 
and I haven’t yet seen your face but I want to
I haven’t yet held your hand but I know what it would feel like
It would feel like this:
goosebumps on a chilly fall day,
that warm breeze at the start of May
It would feel like my heart beating out of my chest,
like the safety of a thousand promises kept
It would feel like staring into the bluest eyes,
it would feel like all my fears have just died

So although I haven’t yet seen your face, or yet held your hand,
I’ll hold on to hope that that I’ll get to 
in another land.
