The open ocean of life pulls you from me
The tides have changed, that instant, tears fall free
Set off for a distant shore as once again I am alone
Awaiting that faithful day you call this place home
There have been songs on the lips of many men
How distance has become between their love and them
Faithful flower to whom I proposed
I await my Sapphire Dream, my darling rose
Roads traveled alone, for you I yearn
Sweeping across the tides of time, you my concern
To you I shall travel relentlessly once again
Cherishing moments with you, sweet honey to this man
There have been poems by many of our kin
How untrusting and unfaithful distance has been
Faithful flower know this that I say from my heart is true
My heart, my soul, my body, and my eyes can only drink of you
Hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye
You call, I hear your voice as we pass the time
The distance closes for awhile, together it seems
Your words poetic, my loving Sapphire Dream
There have been many stories of love betrayed
Pages full of tears, heartbreak, and dismay
My faithful flower, know our story is new
For our love will always pull us through
Your beautiful eyes, the tenderness in your touch
Your smile beckons, I love you so much
My first thought as I awake is always of you
My last thought before I sleep, a prayer that we make it through
There have been many stories on the television
That elaborate and portray the evilness in men
Yet these stories again ring to us untrue
My Sapphire dream, I am only here for you
I can drift through the time I must wait in a daze
Happy knowing you love me, yet somewhat amazed
I shall love you for always and ever in return
Your love is the fire in my soul, let it burn
Everything written on these pages is true
Sapphire dream, I wait faithfully for you
Even if I must wait forever and a day
Faithful flower, I know you shall return my way
je t'aime rêve de saphir.
Author notes
Option 1--
What makes a relationship worth it? Is it how you feel? Is it the comfort? Is it the excitement? Just give me something with emotion. I'm happy with my boyfriend, but I worry that distance is going to break us apart.

holy krap! i'm at a total loss of words right now! i don't even know what to say! i didn't even realize you had something like this inside of you! where does something like this even come from!? you know, you make some of us quite jealous with your great writing. anyways. this sounded like one of those old songs that sailors sing. or something along those lines. it flowed beautifully. no awkward line ever. i do have to tease you a little bit though. did you have an editor look over this? because other than the second to last 4-lined stanza, the spelling, grammar, and puncuation was amazingly, fantasically correct. sorry, i couldn't resist a little fun poking.
wait! you had someone else other than me edit it!? that hurts! right here! 
anyways. like i've tried to already state, this was a wonderfully beautiful write. very descriptive and moving all at the same time. it didn't bore me with details. it entertained me with them. great imagery too. altogether a great write. yay for you!
-
wow this was really nicely written and whoever it is for is really lucky! A wonderful poem which holds wonderful descriptions and very poetic wording. It all flows together wonderfully and comes together as one towards the end. The last line is powerful and truthful which creates great reading.
Keep up the great work and its good to read some of your things again. Whoever this is for she is a lucky person.
Well Done!
Emma
