A Poem for the One Who Left
I’ve always adored you, despite the storm,
Through the iciest nights, I kept you warm.
The world could crumble, the stars go dim,
Yet my love for you would never fade.
I scoured the heavens, I chased the rain,
Hoped you’d return, but waited in vain.
A love so radiant, now turned to dust,
Yet in the silence, I still have trust.
If fate allows, we’ll meet once more,
Like ocean waves embracing the shore.
But if not in this life, then in the next,
My heart will still be yours, unperplexed.
Do you search for me in crowded streets?
Do your fingers tremble at the sound of my name?
I have loved you beyond reason,
Beyond the breaking of my own heart.
And yet, even now, I would give everything
For one last touch—
One last moment where we are not strangers,
Pretending we never belonged.
But I know—love cannot be begged for.
And so, I will leave this here,
In ink and in grief,
A last whisper of everything we were.
