I hoped for your return, your warmth, your embrace, your soft whispers, and I have been waiting in silence for you.…
People stayed far from you, the rare one yet my hand brushed you, and I witnessed the fragile bliss they never saw.…
I feel the way your metaphors glow but the label that held you is gone.…
I'd weather every storm just to guard you.…
I wandered among the resting and found beauty where sorrow grows.…
Maybe growth is the art of losing gently.…
I offered my hand to you so we could dance the night so gracefully, and the moon pretended she didn't notice how we looked at each other.…
I reach through shadows to touch the spark you hide.…
Through snow I move, but with you the world becomes an ocean to surf together.…
I have folded my wings so you may fly.…
I watch the sands vanish, blinking away my own existence.…
I feel everything more than I admit.…
