In the soft shadows of my longing heart, A whisper echoes where we once did part. Choices made with reason seemed so right, Yet haunt me now in the quiet of night. Your essence lingers, never far away, In dreams and thoughts that come to stay. Your fingers, tender, like a whispered sigh, Are ghostly touches I cannot deny. Staring in eyes that held me so near, Drowning in memories, crystal and clear. A need unspoken, an ache so profound— For your head to lay in love newly found. Your curls entwined in fingers so tight, Silently straining through the hushed night. I miss you, my love; though apart we remain, The fire between us still burns through the pain.
