Let's Go to a Place

Let’s go to a place where the lilies run wild
And the only measure of years is when the sun rises and sets.
Let’s go to a place where success is measured by passion
Talent, by resilience.
Let’s go to a place that smells of book pages and fresh coffee.
Where holding hands till dawn can be as common of a practice as breathing.
Let’s go to a place where you can admire the beauty
Without being afraid of the passage of time.
Let’s go to a place where you can hold me for a hundred hours
And I’m not afraid when you let go.
Let’s go to a place where you don’t have to give more than you recieve
And fatigue isn’t as common as the rising of the tides
Let’s go to a place that may only exist in your mind,
But when you go,
Take me with you.
