my eyes found yours through the mist.

And without realizing it,

I stopped drifting without a destination.

We fit together in silence like two pieces

that always belonged beneath the same sky.

You were the rain that brought life back to my desert.

The light that reached the forgotten windows of my heart.

The melody that awakened a song that had slept for years.

From that moment on my soul learned to call you home.

But the sea rose once again and its waves carried you away from me.

Now the lighthouse still shines,

though the ship it waited for will never return.

My desert has become dry once more

and the flowers you planted survive only on memories.

Nights grow heavier when the moon can no longer reflect your eyes.

The wind which once carried your voice,

now only whispers your absence.

I miss you with every sunrise,

the way the sky longs for the sun when storms arrive.

I miss you with every heartbeat,

for they learned your name before they ever knew mine.

If I could offer the stars anything,

I would give them all my days for just one more moment with you.

Because there are lights that never truly fade,

even when we can no longer reach them.

And you will always be the lighthouse my heart will search for,

even after the sea has forgotten my name.
