Alaska

You were my Alaska, the final frontier

Every step I took thru your soul, the more mine would disappear

It was abundant with discovery, scarred from pain

Each turn was a new sorrow, every valley accompanied by rain

Only the crest of each hill is where I saw the sunshine

Bright and full of life, something more than divine

My thoughts tried to keep you there, above the rising tide

But nothing I could do would keep you by my side

You were a wild horse that no one could tame,

Only could one moment of pure beauty be displayed in a picture frame

One instance of bliss that broke through the mist

A smile that could be cherished but never could be kissed
