Unsent

Could've

In quiet moments, still and softly hushed,
I wait for you, my heart with longing filled,
The world around in vibrant motion rushed,
Yet in my soul, a calmness, deeply stilled.

The stars above in silent vigil stand,
Their light a promise of your sweet return,
And in the night, I trace with tender hand,
The dreams of you for whom my spirit yearns.

Each dawn that breaks, each setting of the sun,
Brings closer still the hour we shall meet,
Though time drifts slow, my love for you has won,
A strength that keeps my patient heart replete.

So here I wait, with hope that does not fade,
For in your arms, my world will be remade.
