Thinking of a boy,
So far away,
In every way.
I want to be there,
By his side,
To sit and watch the tide.
Californian beaches,
Make the perfect scene,
To a troubled teen…
I want to be there,
By his side,
To sit and watch the tide.
I want to help,
Be a friend who knows,
And be with him when he goes.
I want to be a pedestal,
To hold him steady,
Until he’s ready.
I think of the boy,
So far away,
In every way,
Whose company I seek,
When things go wrong…
I think of the boy,
So far away,
In every way,
I want to be there,
By his side,
To sit and watch the tide.

AH! Young love, new love, it's a true love, a love not muddled with resentments and the struggles of survival.
I miss that kind of stuff in my life. Adults however get things a bit messed up and love gets turned into so much other stuff. The feeling seems to get lost easily then.
Good thoughts Poet 3. It gave me a short ride back to when I believed in things more, a fleeting memory of when life just felt better.

AHA! Apple has a boyfriend *pulls funny face making kissing sounds*
"I want to be a pedestal,
To hold him steady"
I adored this line...very refreshing.
