You’re with me in the echoes of silence

As I longingly search for your presence.

Everywhere I turn, I see your shining face—

A smile here, eyebrows dancing there.

You find me always.

While I hide in the shadows, you continue

On your hunt for something more.

Even when I’m invisible, you speak to me

And no matter how hurt I am, I respond.

I listen to your story as if it was the first time.

When I’m in the light, you joyfully sing

Of your love for my beauty—

Enchanting me with your sweet honey

And I believe again in our existence.

Until…

The echoes of silence reverberate.
