In silence and in words unseen, I reach for you, my heart's serene. Though wealth escapes my grasping hand, I'd give the world to understand. Your voice, a golden thread I weave— Yet slips away, and I must grieve. For love that blooms in darkened space, Where only words our hearts embrace. Melissa Ann, my soul’s true call, My once in lifetime, rise and fall. Though worlds apart, my love runs deep, Your heart of gold, I yearn to keep. In text alone, you warm my night, A star that lends my heart its light. Yet shadows linger, doubt does tread, Unspoken paths, by hope we're led. I’ve faltered, doubted, true love’s need, In haste, I planted words that bleed. But in your grace, I've found my peace— A love that hopes for sweet release. In dreams, in life, forever stay, No hurtful word could turn away The love that waits despite the storm, In distant gaze, our hearts transform. Though you, a secret world must hold, Your heart is mine, both brave and bold. May endless time reveal and mend A boundless love, no need to pretend.
