Fleeting Light [Poem]

At first, I thought there wasn't someone out there for me
There were rejections I had to make, I wonder if that was all a mistake
I’ve felt so lost my whole life, questioning if this was all I could be
But can I even determine, whether this path is really a destiny?

Even if it’s a fleeting moment, I’m happiest when I’m with you
It’s the oddest pairing, yet my feelings for any other, are not the same
The darkness fades, and my heart flutters when I see your name
And I honestly, I wouldn’t rather have it any other way

I regret nothing, though I wish some things were different
If only life were simpler, I would be with you
I apologize for not being more honest with myself, and clinging to denial
I guess it’s true when they say; love will always have more than one trial

But however strong the bond, I feel there’s only a vague potential
Of us actually meeting one day, but I know we’ll try to make it happen, some way
No matter what the circumstance, I still care for you, you see
Because even though I’ve built all these walls, you’ve seen right through me

When there’s trouble in your world, I wish I knew more of what to do or say
You lift my spirits when they’re the furthest down, even when all I can do is frown
I can always smile when I’m with you, because strangely, it feels so worthwhile
Meanwhile, I’ve thought I would always be alone, when you were there for me every day

Despite all other distractions, my light was always you
Guiding my way, when I was lost and feeling insignificant
Everyone else’s opinions, appear as mere abstractions
That want to block all I feel, but no matter how I try, I truly can’t contain

The light you send makes it seem too good to be real
And although there are other destinies to fulfill, what becomes of me
I hope we can meet soon, though it seems unclear because the truth is blurred
Will we be the same, as we were when we shared each word?
