**if I Could** Poem by aira olayvar

Each day that passes by, I thank God that you are safe wherever you are…
No matter how far,
To lose you in end is one of my greatest fears!
The sky may filled with clouds, tomorrow may be dim-
But each time that you are there,
You make me fall in love again and again…

Close your eyes, come a little closer,
And let me hold you in my arms,
Where life leads me, I wanted to be where you are…

I care for tomorrow’s, I care for our dreams,
For to love you like no one else can,
Let me show you that I can…
If I could just have one dream to come true-
I’d dream that forever we will be… that all your dreams would become the reality,
For I believe that in your dreams, I am with you.
