Unread Words, Unspoken Love

I reach for you in spaces unseen,  

where silence lingers too long,  

where love waits on the other side

of unread words.  

I do not wish to chase,  

only to be held in thought,  

to be known in the quiet  

before doubt arrives.  

You are the one my heart calls for,  

not the love I lost,  

but the love that found me.  

Yet in the pause between us,  

I wonder—  

do you still hear my name  

the way I whisper yours?  

I would wait,  

even past the fading light,  

even past the days that stretch too far,  

for you, for the ending where love remains.  

Yet you do not see it,  

do not know that my heart has already chosen—  

and that choice is you.
