Not Once

I am not afraid of the miles between us,

For our love can build a sturdy bridge.

I am not afraid of the time we are apart,

For the years seemed like a day or two.

I am not afraid of autumn,

For inside, it will always be spring.

I am not afraid of winter,

For my heart is on fire for you.

I have dreamt of writing this poem.

Of saying the exact lines.

I am not afraid,

For even my dreams tell me not to.

Do not hesitate even for a while,

Do not be afraid.

For I have loved you,

Like how they did in the love songs.

I am not afraid, our love has made me brave.
