I WANT

I WANT

I want to possess you forever ‘till the end,

But I know you can never possess the blowing wind.

I want to hold you and always be your man,

But that would be like trying to hold the ever shifting sand.

I want to keep you always by my side,

But that would be like trying to hold on to the flowing tide.

I know these things I want can never be,

So I will just stand by the open sea.

I will enjoy the wind as it blows,

Feel the sand between my toes.

I’ll be there for the ride,

just to see the flowing tide.
