1,000 (My Second Attempt At A Love Poem) Poem by Bryan Alexander

A thousand times I wished for you
always at 11: 11
always on a star
To come to me from where you ran to
love can only stretch so far

A thousand dreams I dreamed of you
most I don't understand
dearest love I'll tell you this
in them we were hand in hand

A thousand words I've written for you
and not one of them will do
a thousand tears I've cried inside
each one searching for you

A thousand years I've waited for you
All alone and in the sand
alone on an island
starving without your hands

A thousand deaths I would have died
to keep you in my arms
I would have loved you always
through thick and thin
and kept you safe from harm

goodnight a thousand times
one for every dream, line, or wish
these are the last words
the very last time
Ill ever tell you this:

I love you
