In the quiet of the night, my heart whispers your name,
A soft murmur, a longing, a flickering flame.
Between the folds of my dreams, you dance, vivid and bright,
An ethereal presence from dusk until light.
Within the silence, my soul stretches wide,
Across the vast emptiness where my desires reside.
And in the stillness, I find you, a specter of grace,
In every shadow, in every space.
But as dawn breaks, and the night fades away,
The echo of your laughter is the price I pay.
For in the light, I am reminded, oh so cruel,
Of the distance between us, a vast, insurmountable pool.
