ROMANCE: "UNWRITTEN MELODIES (2)" BY OJIJI

I want to find myself in someone who loses their fears deeply in me,  

To stand on the far edge of forever, hand in hand, unafraid to leap.

I want to build my world with someone who paints in colors I can’t name,  

To chase the rainbows that our shadows stretch to touch.

I want to cry with someone who holds my tears as treasures,  

To heal in the warmth of hands that mend my broken self.

I want to find shelter in his arms after walking through the storms of this world,  

To walk barefoot on the sands of time, feeling our pulse in each step.

I want to chase the shadows with someone who brings the light to my nights,  

To catch the shooting stars together, letting our love illuminate the dark.

The poet persona confesses the hunger to be with a woman who would be his soul mate. Thus, a woman who can pursue his dreams with him. Such that, their equal love would illuminate the world.
