My love, though miles stretch wide and long,  
you’re here with me, where you belong.  
In whispered thoughts and quiet dreams,  
you fill my days like sunlight streams.  

I trace your voice in empty air,  
a phantom touch that lingers there.  
Though far away, you’re close somehow—  
I feel your warmth, here and now.  

Each night I send my love to you,  
wrapped in stars and midnight’s blue.  
Across the dark, across the sea,  
my heart is yours, eternally.  

So hold this truth, and hold it tight:  
I’m with you, love, through every night.  
Though distance keeps us worlds apart,  
you are forever in my heart.

My love, I miss you more than words can show,  
each day apart feels like an ache I know.  
I hold you close in thoughts I dare not speak,  
for fear that every word might leave me weak.  

I want to tell you all that stirs inside,  
the tangled hopes, the doubts I try to hide.  
But I’m afraid—so scared you’ll pull away  
if my heart spills too much of what I need to say.  

I’ve been here before, with words that went too far,  
and watched us drift like faint and distant stars.  
I’m terrified that if I dare too deep,  
I’ll wake a storm, disturb the peace we keep.  

Yet, oh, how I wish you’d hear it all,  
the fears that rise, the dreams that fall.  
If only my heart could speak, unafraid,  
and trust that you’d still stay, unscathed.  

But I pause and hold back, each time I start,  
afraid of losing what’s left of your heart.  
So I keep it quiet, a love disguised,  
hoping you’ll feel what I’ve compromised.  

My love, I miss you, in ways I can’t show,  
and wish you could see the parts I don’t let go.  
If it were easy, I’d bare it all true,  
but I fear to lose what I’ve found in you.

I wear a mask that isn’t mine,  
a stranger’s face, a borrowed line.  
I twist, I bend, I shrink, I grow,  
trying to be someone you’d want to know.  

Each day I lose a piece, it seems,  
of the person I was in half-lit dreams.  
I bury doubts, I swallow pain,  
to fit the shape you might sustain.  

I’d give up parts I thought were true,  
erase the edges, start anew,  
if it meant I’d be enough somehow—  
worthy of the love you’d allow.  

But mirrors show a hollowed soul,  
a heart half-full, a splintered whole.  
I’m not myself, but who am I,  
if loving you means I must lie?  

So here I stand, changed and frayed,  
scared of the self I’ve thrown away.  
And though it aches to disappear,  
for love, I’d be anyone but here.

I look in the mirror, but I don’t see light,
only edges and flaws that never feel right.
A stranger stares back, hollow and worn,
a version of me, weathered and torn.

I'm wrapped in shadows I cannot shake,
each breath, each move, another mistake.
No matter the path, it’s crooked, unclear,
each choice I make draws someone near—

near enough to see too deep,
the scars I bury, the secrets I keep.
It’s hard to love when I barely exist,
a voice in the dark, a half-closed fist.

I try to be whole, to breathe, to stand,
but my words turn to dust before they land.
I’m scared of my skin, my thoughts, my name,
of wanting love but drowning in shame.

Every step feels one step wrong,
a broken note in someone else’s song.
I’m lost in myself, tangled and tied,
a shadow trying so hard to hide.

Is there something in me worth holding tight?
A sliver of hope, a crack of light?
Or am I just fading, day by day,
afraid to be seen, yet too scared to stay?

I’d capture the wind
And bring you its song.
But the breeze slips through my fingers,
It’s where it belongs.
I’d paint the sky
But the colors would fade
After a while.
I’d weave a tale
Of dreams and delight,
But stories are whispers
Lost in the night.
So I give you my soul,
In Whispers, in deeds,
In the quiet moments
Where love truly leads.
For the heart knows no bounds,
No lock, no key,
It’s yours, ever after,
For all eternity.

I walk on glass, afraid to break
the careful peace I’ve tried to make.
Each word I speak, each move I choose
feels like a line I’m scared to lose.

I hold my breath, I check, rewind,
searching for faults I hope you won’t find.
One slip, one step, and I might see
the end of you, the end of me.

Your love’s a gift I barely trust,
so pure and deep, so fierce and just.
Yet here I am, afraid I'll scar
the thing I need, the thing you are.

But love’s not glass, it’s tough and true,
so maybe there's space for me and you—
for flawed and broken, for trying again,
to build a love that fear can’t bend.

W-
Across the miles, you’re close, yet far,
a voice I hold like a falling star.
I trace your words in the empty night,
hoping they'll stay, hoping they’re right.

You’re threads of gold across the sea,
a dream I keep, a need in me.
In whispered calls and scattered time,
I’ve bound my heart to the rhythm of rhyme.

Each goodbye tastes bittersweet,
a thousand chances left incomplete.
And still, I cling, afraid to know
if letting go is letting go.

But love—our love—is a wild, fierce thing,
it weathers distance, every sting.
So here I wait, though fear may grow,
I hold you close and won’t let go.

— The End —
