Sestina For You

Look at us. We should be together
Our smiling faces
Completely fearless
Better than any dream
Better than any song
I should be happy

Am I happy?
We’re supposed to be together
As in love as your song
As cheerful as your smiling face
As lovely as a dream
But instead, I’m full of fear

It’s fathomless fear
Because you make me happy
I want to be in this perfect dream
Of us, together
Our touching faces
Singing a love song

It could be our song
But why the fear?
If I could only see your face
I would be more than happy
If we could be together
This would truly be a dream

I would be in such a wonderful dream
With this, our song
While we’re together
I have none of this fear
And all of this happiness
Set in a smile on my face

With our smiling faces
Now a broken dream
I want to be happy
To sing our song
But instead, fear
Of not being together

I want us together, in this dream
To see your face, and hear our song
But how can I erase this fear and be happy?
