Never Poem by David Wicks

I would wait a thousand summers
If it meant burning in the sun.
I would count away the numbers
Of the days 'till my waiting was done.

My heart I'd keep safely away
In a box sealed shut so tight.
I would keep it clear of dust by day
And hold it close and safe by night.

I'd spend my time to sit and think
About how it could possibly be
That quicker than mine eye could blink
Could she be standing in front of me.

It's in that ignorance I'd find
A special kind of peace and bliss
That would help to ease my troubled mind
And pull myself from the dark abyss.

I will do all this until I get
To meet the greatest girl I've never met.
