As good as Forever

If I had a sky of diamonds
and a field full of gold
I would scoop them into my pockets
and use my treasure to buy you the sea

As island and sea, we would find ourselves
where solar sand warms our feet, as
crystal sea collides and caresses
high tide pulls you further into me

We sleep beneath the star and cloud
too close beside the fire.
My hair falls long around your face
as a sad smile flickers into view.

But here tonight I stand alone
beneath this diamond sky,
watching over the fields of gold,
my mind wanders to another time.

The life we live together
in the moment before tomorrow,
and somehow, I know for sure-
this moment is as good as forever.
