I look for you in my dreams,
but I can’t find you there.
Where are you?
Can you not come to me?
You promised that you
would never really leave me
and yet you never returned
even in my dreams.
You told me not to be afraid
when darkness comes to me,
because you would be my light
on the other side.
Life, what is a blink of an eye,
is a lifetime of longing for me,
and so I wait to hold you
once again my love
in the silence.
