Can This Be Love?

No matter how many times I failed
I always give love a chance.

And now I am asking yet again
Can this be it?

The way we talk about adventure
I can imagine backpacking with you
Holding your hand before beholding a beautiful sight
Holding your hand as we cross great rivers,
climb high mountains and perch ourselves on top or the world

I can imagine being with you in retracing steps
Reliving the past and reminiscing,
In writing the in-betweens of what I have taken for granted
For the sake of the awe in your eyes and the smile on your lips

I can imagine going on weekly adventures with you
Armed with just bikes, a new destination and each other
Of waking up next to you in another country
Introducing you to strangers as my partner
Taking you home with me

I imagine being with you in the quiet
Arms wrapped around me sharing the same breath
We never had to speak a word
But our eyes would dream in lands far away

And even after the thirst for seeking has been quenched
After the extended vacations and trips,
We will sit in the quiet knowing we have found home
And we have been taking it everywhere we go.
