I long to recapture the moments

My dreams are but a memory away

The sky above me

Looks over what I long for

Across an ocean so vast and beautiful

I am held in captivity upon an island

I leave so many memories and heroes

As I look to the West

Waves lap upon the shores

Heart pining to return

Optimistic thoughts keep my dream alive

Acting as the fuel to my flames

Their reflection shimmer on the surface

Of the waters which separates me from you

My body and soul divorced from one another

This infatuation once ridiculed

The passion I have burns inside

Resentment of ties smoulder within me

These words do not signify

The hold you have over me

The chains only to be release when I kiss you

Somewhere in the world

A dream is being fulfilled

Patiently I must wait

My eyes fixate upon the hands of time

The rotation painfully slow

One day I shall return

And saturate you with my love

To share the riches I hold within
