I never needed to know the true nature of darkness—
Because I had already found my light in you.
An angel with emerald eyes,
A soul so radiant it banished every shadow in mine.

I once believed, with a quiet certainty,
That our story would end not in sorrow,
But in a sacred moment—
You beside me, hand in hand,
Eyes brimming not with grief,
But with the weight of love
And the ache of temporary parting.

From the instant I saw you,
I knew you were the one
Who had wandered through my dreams,
Night after night,
Your voice echoing softly
Long before it ever reached my ears.

I couldn’t let you go
Without hearing that sound in waking life—
That voice that had become my lullaby.

But as all light eventually fades,
So too did ours dim and vanish.
Now, I ***** through shadows,
Trying to find you again
In the echoes of laughter,
In the warmth of memory.

Your smile, etched in my mind,
Is the last star in a darkening sky—
The only thing keeping me from falling
Into the abyss that beckons.

Please—
If you still linger in the ether,
Reach for me.
I am here.
Arms outstretched,
Grasping at emptiness,
Begging for your light
To return once more
And illuminate this darkness
You left behind.
