One Day

A beautiful truth it is, that there is intimacy even in the distance,

But a desire to be together, what we think in an instance.

Our love is so sweet, so true, and has stood the test of time,

Let our journey continue, whether we walk, crawl, or climb.

One day, instead of our faces across a phone, tablet, and laptop,

We will hold hands to the cinema, hearing the popcorn pop.

One day, instead of the long messages of conversation and text,

We will meet face to face, wondering what to talk about next.

One day, instead of the recording sounds of our low, quiet voice,

We will enjoy words from our own mouth, in love as we rejoice.

One day, instead of staring to a bright screen to enjoy each other's eyes,

We will be close together, lost in each other, in both our hi's and goodbyes.

One day, instead of listening to our shared Spotify playlist on our own,

We will be dancing, eyes, nose, hands, and lips together, so we are never alone.

One day, instead of a kiss on the surface of the online,

Our lips will meet in person, oh how sweet, how divine, that I get to call you mine.

One day, instead of ending our calls and our texts to work and to sleep,

We will be with each other each day, laughing, crying, or in a conversation so deep.

One day, no longer bound by distance and by time and everything in between,

We will put a ring declaring our love, just like in a movie scene.

And one day, see our future children, from infant, to toddler, to teen.

I look forward to that one day with you, honey.
