I hid my love behind a wall of silence,
Lest my heart hears it,
and in its unrest,
frighten yours away.

I was a lost star that was slowly losing its light
And you rekindled the flame in me, and brought me back home
But, at my highest and brightest moment
You vanished, and left me suffocating
And craving for a love I would've never known
Still, I endure,
Still, I'd rather suffer,
and remain where you left me long ago.
Not because I am happy here,
I'd extinguish my light altogether,
But because, one day your world might lose its light
And be ever darker,
When that day comes, I will be here,
Ready to light up your world
With whatever brightness I still own.

When you were here,
I stayed because I needed you.
Now that you are gone,
I still remain,
Not because I long for what is left of my world,
But because one day, you might need me,
And when that day comes,
I would already be there for you.

I loved you more in your absence
Than I ever did in your presence
I learned to love you in moderation
And not give in to my obsession
And whereas I only felt limited happiness
Never fulfilled, never content
Always craving more and more
I now struggle tirelessly within a dark void of emptiness to hold on to even just a vision of you.
I miss you dearly, and I spent every waking, and slumbering moment thinking of you, in happiness, in sorrow, in regret.
When you were still here, you were my purpose, you were what made life bearable and worth looking forward to.
Now that you are gone, I still remain, not for my longing of this world.
But, because I am afraid one day, if and when the world turns its back on you, there is still a speckle of light wanting to light up your entire world.

I filled your absence with neverending thoughts of you.

I wish we could converse in verses
Like what lovers used to do
But no matter what you say to me
In words, in smile, in silence
My world, my dreams, my sunrise
Would still be written all over
With my unchanging love for you.

I write love letters to you
Not because I want you to respond
Not because I want you to love me back
But because I want you to know that
Not matter what,
I will always love you,
and I am yours
Yours Truly.
