Faithful

Loneliness wears your silhouette,

It borrows your voice at dusk,

I mistake the wind for you.

Waiting feels like devotion,

Each second kneels.

My heart learns patience from stars,

They love from far away.

I set a place for you in dreams.

Even emptiness glows,

Longing perfumes the dark,

I sigh your name softly,

so silence won’t break.

Watching the horizon blush,

I believe in returns.

Enduring feels intimate,

like holding hands with time,

Hopelessness flirts,

but never stays.

I imagine your steps,

teaching floors to listen,

Loneliness becomes a bridge,

not a wall.

Missing you sharpens love,

The wait writes poetry in me,

I am faithful to tomorrow.
